They say the big bad world
It will bring you down
So take your time to see
It will never be enough
Don't travel North, it'll be cold
Don't travel South, unless you're sure there's gold

They say to kneel down to him
That's the only way
To live a life that's insane
And of course humane
Remember all
Not what you adore

But hey, no thanks
I'll dive at nightfall
Hey, no thanks
I'll run off the wall
And see what's ashore

They may be right
I'll see for myself
They may be wrong
I'll see for mysel-el-elf

String up their words, make a shirt
Wear it all around
It'll keep you safe from the hurt
Like a worthy trust account
Don't travel East, it's amiss
Don't travel West, unless you'll meet the Swiss

Keep their preach close to heart
Chant it all around
Follow the path that they seek
Soon enough you'll see
Remember all
Not what you adore

But hey, no thanks
I'll dive at nightfall
Hey, no thanks
I'll run off the wall
And see what's ashore

They may be right
I'll see for myself
They may be wrong
I'll see for myself

When the time has come
Will you hide, will you bide?
Don't you look back
At their stance, at their sense
Fall right ahead
Through the roo-ooh-ooh-oof

They may be right
I'll see for myself
They may be wrong
I'll see for myself
How would I
I'll never know why
Hey, no thanks
I'll see for myself
