[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
If the people only knew
If they could visualize
Just open their eyes
Even stop to think about
If they could open their minds
They could get beyond, oh

[Chorus: All]
The world's a funny place, you know
However, most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]
Would they finally understand?
In all their whispered screams
And colorless dreams
Would they finally comprehend?
If they could suddenly see, woah
And suddenly feel

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: All]
The world's a funny place, you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarеly funny at all, all
Ooh, ooh

[Spoken Outro]
Thank you, thank you
Thank you very much
If any of you have nevеr hear of a cat named, uh, Edgar Verez
He's a composer and most of his things were written like thirty, forty years ago, and is still blowing people's heads
But uh, the way things are, he's probably never gonna have a hit record on A.M. radio
But uh, maybe through the efforts of uh, musicians and other people, yeah, his work will be recognized the way it should be
This is a song called "Hit by Verez", very unlikely thing right now
