Lyrics

[Chorus]
Beauty is so valuable and we're so afraid of it
Beauty is so valuable and we're so afraid of it

It's not the only pathway to the divine
Love is one of them I suppose
But beauty, especially for people who have an affinity for beauty, it's like music
It's one of those things you can't argue against
You can't even understand, it just hits you
It just hits you
It's like a vision of the potential future
That if we just got our act together, and beautified things
That's the place that we can inhabit, and that would enoble us
And that’s why Jerusalem, the heavenly city, is paved with gemstones
You know in Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty goes to sleep
And the reason she goes to sleep is because she has parents who are quite old
So they're pretty desperate to have a child, like so many people are now
And they only have one child, like so many people do now
They don't want anything to happen to this child
‘Cause it's like, hey, it's a miracle
And she's the princess, we're not letting anything around her
So they have a big Christening party and they invite everybody
But they don't invite Maleficent, and Maleficent is the terrible mother, she's nature
The thing that goes bump in the night
She's the devil herself, so to speak
She's everything that you don't want your child to encounter
So the King and Queen say, "Well, we just won't invite her to the Christening."
[Chorus]
New age people are creative
But they can't think critically
But they can't think critically
But I can think critically
I – I – I can think critically
New Age people are creative
But they can't think critically
But they can't think critically
But I can think critically
(Yes, I think very deeply)
(Question)
What could you do to improve yourself? (Bucko)
Well, the first question might be
Why should you even bother improving yourself?
And I think the answer to that is something like
So you don't suffer any more stupidly than you have to
And maybe so others don't have to either
It's something like that
You know like there's a real adjunction at the bottom of it
It's not some casual self-help doctrine, it's
[Chorus]
Fix it, fix it, fix It
See if you can fix it
Fix it, fix it, fix it
See if you can fix it
Fix it, fix it

So now you think, well
You can do this in a room, it's quite fun
Maybe your bedroom, you can sit there and just sort of meditate on it
If I wanted to spend 10 minutes making this room better
What would I have to do?
But you have to ask yourself that, right? It's not a command, it's like a genuine question, (Question)
And things will pop out in the room
