All the World's a Stage

from Glitch by Adam Balbo

/

lyrics

One way or another, you pick a god to trust
Like, infinity times two plus one
The gym’s a cafeteria at lunch
They say a brain of a child is like a sponge
Words barely hurt - only stones and sticks
Break my bones - take your puppy, your old tricks
If you don’t know how it works - You can’t tell what needs fixed
A helpless cub - growling at a pile of bricks

Rehearse the script - in the gym - where we came of age
Cuz all the world is just a dinky, creaky stage
A cast of cool kids, the rebels, the nerds, the fools
In a janky podunk middle school.

Green cried two puddles: one yellow, one blue
After some kid yelled “I’m rubber & you’re glue”
Everyone’s some kind of stupid. Are not! Are, too!
The sheep goes bah. And the cow goes moo.
Class gets out - half past two
The highlight of my day - is to coax a smile from you
Just a couple thousand years of mistakes to know what’s true
You showed me your catastrophe - What else is new?

Rehearse the script - in the gym - where we came of age
Cuz all the world is just a dinky, creaky stage
A cast of cool kids, the rebels, the nerds, the fools
In a janky podunk middle school.
