Philosophy

Won't you look up at the skyline
At the mortar, block, and glass
And check out the reflections in my eyes
You 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

But go ahead you can laugh all you want
I got my philosophy (keeps my feet on the ground)
And I trust it like the ground (ound)
And that's why my philosophy (my phil-)
It keeps me walking when I'm falling down (o-so-phy)

I see that there is evil
And I know that there is good
And the in-betweens I never understood
Oh won't you look at me, I'm crazy,
But I get the job done,
Yeah, I'm crazy but I get the job done
And I say

Go ahead you can laugh all you want
But I got my philosophy (keeps my feet on the ground)
And I trust it like the ground (ound)
And that's why my philosophy (my phil-)
It keeps me walking when I'm falling down (o-so-phy)

I pushed you 'cause I loved you, guys,
I didn't realize, you weren't having fun
I dragged you up the stairs and I told you to fly
You were flapping your arms, started to cry,
You were too high, no, too high.

You may take this all for granted
You take the mortar, block, and glass
And you forget the speech and move the stone
But it's really not that you can't see
The forest for the trees
You never been out in the woods alone.

So you can laugh all you want to
But I got my philosophy (keeps my feet on the ground)
And I love you, you're my friend (iend)
But you got no philosophy (my phil-)
And now it's time for the song to end (o-so-phy)
