But by this means of effortless effort, the individual changes his policy
And a good example of this method of changing is in the selection of an adequate vocal coach, if you intend to take singing lessons
In the, shall we say, “robusto style”, the principal problem was to open your mouth and bellow
And nearly all, or many of the older singers were quite content and happy if they could rattle the chandeliers in the back of the opera house
Then it was gradually discovered that this was the best way to ruin a voice, that there was
These voices were damaged, and damaged terribly
[Chorus]
Today we know
That the best way to learn
To vocalize, is to reduce effort
Today we know
That the best way to learn
To vocalize, is to reduce effort
The principal problem that every singer has to get rid of is his own throat
If he could lose it, he would sing better
Get his mind off of the noise he is making, relax, and allow the breath to move as it will
And if he controls the breath with a minimum of mental energy, he will produce a purer tone
While if he gets behind it and shoves with everything he has, he will develop only a badly pressured, badly trained voice
[Chorus]
Today we know
That the best way to learn
To vocalize, is to reduce effort
Today we know
That the best way to learn
To vocalize, is to reduce effort
Same thing in life
Same thing in life
The purpose of life, the economy of life, is to use a minimum amount of energy to obtain maximum result
Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
Same thing in life
Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
Same thing in life

Yeah, my opinion is that if somebody wants to stay home, they should stay home
If somebody doesn't want to stay home, they should not be compelled to stay home
That's my opinion
If somebody doesn't like that, well, that's my opinion
This notion though, that you know, you can just sort of send checks out to everybody and things will be fine is not true
Obviously
Some people have this absurd lik, view that the economy is like some magic horn of plenty, like, it just makes stuff
There's a magic horn of plenty and the goods and services, they just come from this magic horn of plenty and then, if somebody has more stuff than somebody else it's 'cause they took more from this magic horn of plenty
Now, let me just break it to the fools out there
If you don't make stuff, there's no stuff
[Chorus]
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
Yeah, so if you don't make the food, you don't process the food, you don't transport the food, medical treatment, getting teeth fixed
There's no stuff
They would become detached from reality
You can't just legislate money and solve these things
If you don't make stuff, there is no stuff
[Chorus]
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
Obviously
We'll run out at the stores
We'll run out of the...
Machines grinds to a halt
[Chorus]
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff
There's no stuff
If you don't make stuff

You know my mother used to say a long time ago
Whenever there would be any really… catastrophe that was in the movies or on the air
[Chorus]
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
You know just on the sidelines, that's why I think that if news programs could make a conscious effort of showing rescue teams, of showing who
Medical people, anybody who is coming into a place where there's a tragedy, to be sure that they include that
Because if you look for the helpers, you'll know that there's hope
[Chorus]
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
[Chorus]
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
[Chorus]
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
Whenever there would be any really… catastrophe that was in the movies or on the air
[Chorus]
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."
She would say
"Always look for the helpers, there were, there will always be helpers."

And so as a result of there always being a kind of gap, that's the gap you know like where the electric spark jumps
That's the thing behind your head, behind your eyes that you can never get to look at, it's the gap. And because of that little gap, the circle doesn't just revolve in a dull way, just go around, and around, and around type of boring thing
It has rhythm
See if I say, “Yoeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee;”
No rhythm, see, it's just one long sound
After a while you'd say, "Oh cut it out," or we just become insensitive to it
What we want to hear is the breaking you see?
And we want to hear and vanish, and come back again, and so on
And that sets up a rhythm, and that becomes interesting
That's putting gaps between, you see we need those gaps
We need those gaps. See?
[Chorus]
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another rhythm doing a rhythm
Now you see it, now you don't, Now you see it, now you don't
Oh, that's pretty dull
So, now you see it, now you don't, now you see it, now you don't
Oh that's pretty dull
So, what we're gonna do is this, we're gonna have you see it three times, and then with a regular not see it between them
Then there's gonna be a longer not see it after that one
And then I'm gonna do something very complicated after that so that you don't really know when it's gonna come next
So, it's gonna be a surprise
You know how we all do that?
[Chorus]
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another rhythm doing a rhythm
And interesting people are those who do this in very involved ways
Dull people, the sort of people who put their hats on absolutely straight
Are the kind of people for example who have the same meal every day, exactly the same thing, always, see?
See, have no inventiveness
They have the same routine, they go to the same office, they answer the same kind of letters, and that's that, see?
But then if they want to start up a more interesting kind of business and make more money
Take the people who make clothes
They figure out fashion, it's gonna be a new thing for ladies, a new style
We're gonna make them do long skirts instead of the short skirts
And they skirts go “wi-tchi-tchi tchi-tchi tchi-tchi,” like this
Then finally they thought about having topless women
They're gonna play around with that and have an absolutely scandalous ball
But, that's the whole thing you see?
It's this thing of rhythm
And yes you ask, „Well, I see that. What is doing this rhythm? Who, after all, am I?“
And as you explore deeper and deeper and deeper into the nature of yourself
[Chorus]
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another rhythm doing a rhythm
Your vibrations and who who is doing all this
And who who is doing all this
Why? He came around, there it was, and we were looking for him and then he vanished
And who who is doing all of this
And who who is doing all of this
Why? He came around, there it was, and we were looking for him and then he vanished
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
And then just when we weren't looking for him again, there he is
But every time we try to see he isn't there
Now, do you see that?
That situation is what's called life
That's the thing behind your head, behind your eyes that you can never get to look at, it's the gap. And because of that little gap, the circle doesn't just revolve in a dull way, just go around, and around, and around type of boring thing

You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm

Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another rhythm doing a rhythm
Now you see it, now you don't, Now you see it, now you don't
Oh, that's pretty dull

And behind that there's another rhythm doing a rhythm
Your vibrations and who who is doing all this
And who who is doing all this
Why? He came around, there it was, and we were looking for him and then he vanished
And who who is doing all of this
And who who is doing all of this
Why? He came around, there it was, and we were looking for him and then he vanished
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
And then just when we weren't looking for him again, there he is
But every time we try to see he isn't there
Now, do you see that?
That situation is what's called life
To spread joy you have to have it, to impart delight, you have to be more or less delightful
And to be delightful is not some factor of trying to make yourself look delightful
[Chorus]
It is to do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
It is do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
That's to say people who are interesting are people who are interested
Any person for example who is constantly thinking about all sorts of other things, and other people, and so on
Because they're fascinating, becomes a fascinating person
But a person who doesn't think about anybody else, and who's got very little going on inside their skull, is boring
So, in other words your engagement with the external world the more you are involved, the more your personality is enriched
[Chorus]
It is to do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
It is do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
But if you try to enrich your personality by taking a course in how to win friends and influence people, or how to be a real person, you'll become just a washout
You'll be like somebody trying to get good nutrition by biting his nails, and then fingers next, and then half an arm gone and so on
You're entirely nourishing yourself with yourself
Now of course on a vast scale, the universe does that, it eats itself up
That's why the symbol of the snake swallowing its tail is a fundamental archaic symbol of life
But, the way it's done is that the snake has in some part of the ring, a place where it's not sensitive for the unconscious
Where it doesn't know that what comes to it in the form of food is actually what left it in the form of excrement
That thing is, don't mention it
After all as the lord said at the beginning of the universe, "You must draw the line somewhere."
[Chorus]
It is to do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
It is do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
And to be delightful is not some factor of trying to make yourself look delightful
[Chorus]
It is to do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
It is do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
