lyrics

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE LITTLE WORLD

Xmas - the year was 29
Found myself at mom’s grave in Walden’s Clover
While Wall Street was still mopping up the blood
My father got drunk and crashed his Rover
Downtrodden in doubts of dark and snow
Draped across the desert slopes of my mind
Old Caesar was choking on his bone
Rushed him down to "Helpful Holly Vets"
and hung with Sensitive Joan who said:

Don’t you underestimate - aww the little world
That keeps us grounded, keeps you straight
when all around’s a blur
Now don’t you underestimate - aww the little world
Somewhere inside you it’s calling.
Somewhere inside you...

Fast forward to a time when I am old
All my heroes now gone by life’s erosion
Decisions by the silicon farmer’s son
Keeps me in line with their illusions
While kingpins of “off switch” have their way
Trashing sacred laws and buying up tombs
Depressing as it seems on Xmas day
I got Caesar in my memory along with Sensitive Joan sayin’...

Don’t you underestimate - aww the little world
That keeps us grounded - keeps us straight
when all around’s a blur
Now don’t you underestimate - aww the little world
Somewhere inside us
Don’t you underestimate - aww the little world
That keeps us grounded - keeps us straight
when all around’s a blur
Now don’t you underestimate - aww the little world!
Somewhere inside us it’s calling
Somewhere inside us it’s calling

Now don’t you underestimate
what we all have inside from square one
We forget it now and then
but when we need to have a friend
It picks us up and clears the path
and lets us start again so...

Don’t you underestimate - aww the little world
That keeps us grounded - keeps us straight
when all around’s a blur
Now don’t you underestimate - aww the little world
Somewhere inside us
Don’t you underestimate - aww the little world

That keeps us grounded - keeps you straight
when all around’s a blur
Now don’t you underestimate aww the little world
Somewhere inside us it’s calling
Somewhere inside you it’s calling
And somehow it guides us
