Save the World, Kids by Jon Krause

Have you ever imagined that you were a shaman in some other life,
If I were a shaman,
I believe I'd be a great one,
And I'd trip all night and all day,

Have you ever imagined that you lived in an igloo in the future,
Just trusting yourself,
And your instincts,
Farmin' yams,
Or something that's farmed in the cold underground,

Have you ever imagined that you owned a little inn,
In a tiny little village on the way to Alaska,
I'd teach all of the children in the village a tiny little bit of my knowledge,
And my knowledge would be endless,
-
It's ok if you're not having fun,
Today's a chance to change that,
And tomorrow's another one...
-
But I'd have to be careful with the knowledge i shared,
I wouldn't share it if the knowledge was nasty,
It'd be great,
If we quit teaching children to hate some day,

Cuz these kids could be the kids we've been waiting for,
They could save the world one day,
All they gotta do is be so much better than we were,

Have you ever imagined all the knowledge you'd gain as a corporate CEO,
Even though,
The extent of your knowledge would just be money-math,

Have you ever imagined declaring yourself the king of some country in outer space,
If your weapons were more advanced than theirs were,
That would buy you some time to go die,
-
And it's ok if you're not having fun,
Today's a chance to change that,
And tomorrow's another one,

[Instrumental break]

Never would I ever be that guy,
Unless I were hit by a truck,
And the brain damage had a dramatic effect on my mind,
Ya, not just any kind,

So if that could be you,
Don't come near me,
Just stay where you are,
You're not thinking clearly,
And I just want sing,
