Lyrics:
PHILOSOPHY

                 Won't you look up at the skyline
                 At the mortar, blocks and glass
                 And check out the reflections in my eyes
                 See they always used to be there
                 Even when this all was grass
                 And I sang and danced about a high rise
                 And you were laughing at my helmet hat
                 Laughing at my torch
                 Go ahead and laugh all you want
                 I got my philosophy
                 And I trust it like the ground
                 That's why my philosophy
                 Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
                 I see that there is evil
                 And I know that there is good
                 And the in-betweens I never understood
                 Would you look at me I'm crazy
                 But I get the job done
                 I'm crazy but I get the job done
                 So go ahead and laugh all you want
                 I got my philosophy
                 And I trust it like the ground
                 That's why my philosophy
                 Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
                 I pushed you cause I loved you guys
                 I didn't realize
                 That you weren't having fun
                 And I dragged you up the stairs
                 And I told you to fly
                 You were flapping you arms
                 Then you started to cry, you were too high

                 Now you take this all for granted
                 You take the mortar, block and glass
                 And you forget the speech that moved the stone
                 And it's really not that you can't see
                 The forest from the trees
                 You just never been out in the woods alone
                 So you can laugh all you want to
                 But I've got my philosophy
                 And I love you, you're my friend
                 But you got no philosophy
                 Now it's time for this song to end
