And I Feel Fine
We’re always happy,
Life’s for livin’ yeah that’s our philosophy
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box –
Religion is the smile on a dog –
I’m not aware of too many things
I wish I was like you,
easily amused
You’re happy ’cause you smile –
But how much can you fake?
I’m not aware of too many things –
I know what I know,
if you know what I mean
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now,
entertain us
Choke me in the shallow water,
before I get too deep
Since its beginnings in the seventeenth century, modern science has focused on the kind of “facts” that can be grasped by the senses and proven by measurement. It abandoned the religious explanations for the world, which posited an unseen God behind the universe; accepted only that which it could see and touch; and brought an acute analysis to the phenomena of the physical world.
And all you touch and all you see,
is all your life will ever be
Little darling,
the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling,
it seems like years since it’s been here
When you’re happy like a fool,
let it take you over
What else could I say?
Everyone is gay
I’m standing here on the ground
The sky above won’t fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
I send this smile over to you
Making sure I’m not in too deep –
If you steal my sunshine
With the lights out,
it’s less dangerous
Here we are now,
entertain us
Keeping dumb and built to beat –
If you steal my sunshine
For long you live and high you fly,
but only if you ride the tide –
And balanced on the biggest wave,
you race towards an early grave
Execution of bitterness –
Message received loud and clear
Disarm you with a smile,
and leave you like they left me here,
to wither in denial –
The bitterness of one who’s left alone
Open up my eager eyes,
’cause I’m Mr. Brightside
Here comes the sun,
doo-doo-doo-doo…
Here comes the sun,
and I say it’s all right
In the sun I feel as one
