| 10,000 hours in anything makes you an expert
|
| And I’ve spent way more time than that frettin' over guys
|
| I’ve got a B.F.A., an M.F.A., a Ph.D. |
| in obsession
|
| And now I find myself wondering why
|
| I could have used that time to cure leukemia
|
| I could have used that time to clean the seas
|
| I could have taught some teens awareness of bulimia
|
| I could have saved the pandas, whales, and bees
|
| Without love, you can save the world
|
| Put those hours to good use instead
|
| Without love, you can save the world
|
| Sing out, branch out, get out of your own head
|
| (Spoken Interlude)
|
| Hey, guys!
|
| Peace!
|
| Peace and love!
|
| But not love
|
| Love’s a real time suck, it really gets your mind stuck
|
| On things that later on, you’ll be like, «Why?»
|
| Like when’s he gonna text or when will I see him next?
|
| Then suddenly the lakes have all gone dry
|
| And it’s all your fault!
|
| Without love, you can save the world
|
| Save the world!
|
| Clear space in your brain for better things
|
| Better things!
|
| Without love, you can save the world (save the world!)
|
| Not being tied to a bed can really give you wings
|
| Conserve your mental energy
|
| To research conserving energy
|
| Don’t raise hell
|
| Raise money for local schools
|
| Now that you’ve got time
|
| Take the leash off your hog
|
| And use that leash to walk rescue dogs
|
| Love is blind
|
| But without love
|
| You can actually help the blind
|
| It’s an asexual utopia!
|
| Without love, you can save the world (save the world!)
|
| Forget who you did, think about what you can do (what you can do!)
|
| Without love, you can save the world (save the world!)
|
| Change doesn’t start with him, change starts with you
|
| It starts with you!
|
| Not who you screw (not who you screw!)
|
| It starts with you!
|
| Without love |
