lyrics
*Verse 1*
I once heard of man with shallow holes for ears,
He sits in his tree way up high,
He shouts way out loud for the people to hear,
When they shout back he don't hear no reply,
That's cause no one can hear up that high,
*Chorus*
He just shouts he says,
"Hey, Hey, Hey!,
I've heard it all I say,
I'll tell you what's best and don't ask why,
These tuned ears,
Have heard all there is to hear,
The rest just waves passing by,
Oh just let them waves pass you by",
*Verse 2*
I've seen a feller,
With the eyes of a cave dweller,
His home dark as a starless sky,
His eyes can't adjust,
It's the only way he trusts,
He sees the same with closed eyes,
No one can see with no light,
He says,
*Chorus*
"Don't you see, see, see?,
Well all the light I've seen,
I'll show you what's best and don't ask why,
These eyes put on their show,
And what I see I know,
The rest just waves passing by,
Oh just let them waves pass you by"
*Verse 3*
I once thought of a man,
Who was sure he understands,
He thought himself so goddamn wise,
He thinks ten times over I hear,
As he strokes his short beard,
He contemplates right,
Let's just sit back and watch his neurons fire,
He says
*Chorus*
"Don't trouble your brain,
Your thoughts useless anyway,
I'll think enough for you and don't ask why,
I've got them thoughts,
That greet all you ever sought,
The rest just waves passing by,
I just let them waves pass me by"
