They wanted the world to make sense So we'd all be happy instead of tense So I made some lies so they'd feel real nice And I made this sad world paradise
Nice, very nice, Such different people in the same device
A lion hunter in the jungle dark And a sleeping drunkard up in Central Park Chinese dentist, and a British queen Both together in the same machine
Nice, very nice Such different people in the same device
Bird got to fly, man got to sit, tiger got to sleep, that's it Man go tell himself, Man got to tell himself, Man got to tell himself that he understands
I wanted the world to make sense So we'd all be happy instead of tense So I made some lies so they'd fit real nice And I made this sad world Paradise
Nice, very nice Such different people in the same device
