Akira The Don - A Miracle lyrics

I knew this guy he'd been in a motorcycle accident, and it really ruined him And he was like a linesman, you know, working on the power and He was working with someone who had Parkinson's disease, and they had complimentary inadequacies And so two of them could do the job of one person So they're out there fixing power lines in the freezing cold, despite the fact that one was three quarters wrecked, with the motorcycle accident And the othеr one had Parkinson It's like, that's how our civilization works Therе's all these ruined people out there They've got problems like you can't believe, off they go to work, and do things they don't even like And look, the lights are on, my God, it's unbelievable {Chorus} It's a miracle Look the lights are on It's a miracle It's unbelievable It's a miracle Look the lights are on It's a miracle It's unbelievable And we're so ungrateful College students, post-modern Are so ungrateful, you know? They don't know that they're surrounded by Just a bloody miracle, a miracle that all this stuff works That all you crazy chimpanzees that don't know each other can sit in the same room for two hours sweltering away Without tearing each other apart, because that's what chimps do Without tearing each other apart, because that's what chimps do {Chorus} It's a miracle Look the lights are on It's a miracle It's unbelievable It's a miracle Look the lights are on It's a miracle It's unbelievable {Chorus} It's a miracle Look the lights are on It's a miracle It's unbelievable It's a miracle Look the lights are on It's a miracle It's unbelievable So (sighs), anyways So, what happened? Well, I made some videos and I got to the bottom of some things, at least as far as I can tell So I told you what the bottom is And then I got this idea about what you might do about it Which isn't my idea It's not my idea It's an old, old, old, old idea, it's far older than Christianity It's the oldest story of mankind It's old Get yourself together Transcend your suffering See if you can be some kind of hero Get yourself together Transcend your suffering See if you can be some kind of hero Get yourself together Transcend your suffering See if you can be some kind of hero Make the suffering in the world less Well, that's the way forward as far as I can tell If there is any way forward And that's what it looks like to me So, that's it (Audience applause)
