When you’re wandering in the jungle striving to get some food
But you are a caveman and you don’t trust the neighbourhood
You hear a voice inside
When you’re flying a lunar module hoping to reach the moon
But you’re running out of fuel and you have to land it soon
Time to make up your mind

Grey matter lives
For as long as we breathe
From inside our skull
It can make us less dull, maybe
Grey matter lives
Strains us apes through a sieve
Whereas out of the blue
We decide what to do, maybe
We all do

This land of darkness
Demanding sharpness
When you are a stranger and nobody can speak your name
And you ask for help but in return you just get the blame
No one can tell you why

Grey matter lives
Neurons spike proactive
There’s a light in our head
Proving we’re not yet dead, and so
Grey matter lives
Makes us plan and conceive
Information may flow
And come up with a glow, maybe
From you, and you, me too
Then we can make up things together
We all do, me too, and you
Why don’t we make up things together?

Grey matter lives
For as long as we breathe
From inside our skull
It can make us less dull, maybe
Grey matter lives
Strains us apes through a sieve
Whereas out of the blue
We decide what to do, maybe
We all do, me too, and you
Then we can make up things together
Same boat, afloat, take note
Why don’t we make up things together?
We learn, and earn, discern
We better make up things together
But we lie, then fight and cry
We didn’t make up things together
