[Part I]

So put your hands together, yeah yeah
Woo-ooh ooh

[Lou Pardini]
Are you optimistic 'bout the way things are going?

[Jeff Coffey]
No, I never ever think of it at all

[Lou Pardini]
Don't you ever worry
When you see what's going down?

[Jeff Coffey]
Well, I try to mind my business, and there's no business at all

[Lou Pardini]
When it's time to function as a feeling, human being
Will your bachelor of arts help you get by?

[Jeff Coffey]
I hope to study further, a few more years or so
I also hope to keep a steady high
Ooh yeah yeah
[Lou Pardini]
Will you try to change things?
Use the power that you have, the power of a million new ideas?

[Jeff Coffey]
What is this power you speak of and the need for things to change?
I always thought that everything was fine
Everything was fine

[Lou Pardini]
Don't you feel repression as the closing in around?

[Jeff Coffey]
No, the campus here is very, very free

[Lou Pardini]
And don't it make you angry the way war is dragging on?

[Jeff Coffey]
Well, I hope the president knows what he's into, I don't know
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah

[Lou Pardini]
Don't you ever see the starvation in the city where you live?
All the needless hunger, all the needless pain?
[Jeff Coffey]
I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine
My neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time
Haven't got the time

[Lou Pardini]
C'mon now!

[Lou Pardini]
I wanna thank you for the talk, it really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come

[Jeff Coffey]
Well, if you had my outlook, your feelings would be numb
You'd always think that everything was fine
Everything was fine
