Big Ideas (In the Shrinking World)

Lyrics

The economy is shrinking Our money is a joke We should go back to trading seashells And just admit that we're broke And our food supply is shrinking (Yeah, yeah) But we continue happily (Yeah, yeah) Building condos on farmland (Yeah, yeah) And dumping sewage in the sea (Yeah, yeah) Someone's talking 'bout a big idea Someone's talking 'bout a higher vision Everybody's on the run Lookin' out for number one And your big ideas don't fit Big ideas in the shrinking world Big ideas in the shrinking world Big ideas in the shrinking world Well, you make us real nervous With your big ideas Our water is shrinking All the pipes are in decay But don't think of it as water It's more like "soup of the day" And our air supply is shrinking (Yeah, yeah) The sky is turning brown (Yeah, yeah) We're getting cancer of the cancer (Yeah, yeah) Just from walking around (Yeah, yeah) Yeah, someone's talking 'bout a big idea Someone's pointing to the Savior of the Ages Everybody's busy just takin' care of business And your big ideas don't fit Big ideas in the shrinking world Big ideas in the shrinking world B-b-b-big ideas in the shrinking world Now we don't wanna hear About your big ideas Ladies and gentlemen Dueling bagpipes! Bagpipes? I hate bagpipes! Our sanity is shrinking From Argentina to Iran It seems like everybody's itching To get a nuclear tan And our compassion is shrinking (Yeah, yeah) It's the ultimate crime (Yeah, yeah) 'Cause we could save the starving millions (Yeah, yeah) But we can't seem to find the time (Yeah, yeah) Yeah, someone's talking 'bout a big idea Someone's pointing to a Light in the darkness Everybody's trying to keep their heads above water And your big ideas are rocking the boat Big ideas in the shrinking world B-b-b-big ideas in the shrinking world B-b-b-big ideas in the shrinking world Well, you make us real angry With your big ideas Now we don't wanna hear About your big ideas Uh, we're too busy to get cosmic With your big ideas I don't wanna hear about it I don't wanna talk about it I don't wanna hear about What you even think of it I don't wanna hear about it I don't wanna talk about it I don't wanna hear about What you even think of it... Oh, no, no, oh, no, no These ideas, they don't fit There's no business like show I mean your ideas don't fit, oh, no, no I don't wanna hear about it I don't wanna talk about it I don't wanna hear about What you even think of it I don't wanna hear about it I don't wanna talk about it I don't wanna hear about What you even think of it... Oh, no, oh, no, no, no, no Shut him up!! I can't stand it!
