Standing On The Shoulders (Of Average Sized People) Songtext

this whole damn world is ours tonight

(everybody knows
that everybody's got their time
so let's work together
stretch our Warhol minutes into a lifetime)

filter out the noise
drown the distractions
diminish the dissonance
it's beautiful what's left:
I can hear my own heartbeat

I hear my own heartbeat

(Sometimes I get a glimpse of my true fate
the world from my eyes
and what a difference a year makes)
Take this television:
a utopian vision of a better way
well you can fuck that system
that's their definition of a better life
It's not mine:
so what?

standing tall
on the shoulders of those who would give it all
take my hand
and look in my eyes
and know it can be done

I thank you all
for your understanding of everything
I take this chance
to be part of this something:

this anything called life
