letra de the here and now - tom smith (filk)

[verse 1]
god made the world, so they say
and he did it in only seven days
but they can’t tell you if those days were short or long
and they think their god is threatened if the dates are wrong

[verse 2]
god made adam, god made eve
kicked ’em out of eden ’cause they were deceived (hiss that snake)
they had children, one was good one scum
cain k!lled abel, then got married — where’d his wife come from?

[pre-chorus]
there’s all those little problems where the story doesn’t jibe
if god created all of us, why single out one tribe?
why weren’t there any dinosaurs on noah’s floating zoo?
why tell us all these fairy tales when we’ve got stuff to do?

[chorus]
we’ve got the world (we’ve got the world), the here and now (the here and now)
things happen, it’s only natural to ask how (ask how)
but there’s no reason to trust mythology
the world right here and now’s enough for me

[verse 3]
alright!
god made commandments, god made rules
god said “to build a better life, these are the tools”
he said the first four are to worship me
if you don’t, you will be tortured for eternity
[verse 4]
but what if this world is all there is
what if, when you die, there ain’t no final quiz
no h-ll or heaven? well, that’s all right with me
we’ll make it heaven here on earth, just wait and see

[pre-chorus]
why punish us forever for an arbitrary rule?
why set us up for failure? does god have to be so cruel?
why give us all these instincts for committing mortal sins?
why give us all these ways to lose before the game begins?

[chorus]
we’ve got the world (we’ve got the world), the here and now (the here and now)
there may be nothing, al-akhirah, or the tao (eternal tao)
but i’ve got present responsibility
the world right here and now’s enough for me

[chorus]
alright!
we’ve got the world (we’ve got the world), the here and now (the here and now)
and you know we’re gonna make it somehow (some how)
but i ain’t countin’ on eternity
the world right here and now’s enough for me

[bridge]
there may be god, and there may not
the world we’re livin’ in might just be all we’ve got
that ain’t no problem, ’cause, whether sp-wned or made
the only way to live is not to be afraid
we’ve got our minds, we’ve got our hearts
we’ve got our souls and they’re the most important parts
we don’t need threatenin’ to tell what’s right from wrong
just mind your business, clean things up, and get along
[pre-chorus]
the world is filled with wonderment and beauty near and far
and trying to understand it is just being who we are
if there’s a god, he told us that the world he made was ours
we’re almost done exploring here, the next stop is the stars!

[chorus]
we’ve got the world (we’ve got the world), the here and now (the here and now)
and we’re gonna reach the heavens somehow (some how)
it’s up to us to fulfill our destiny
the world right here and now’s enough for me (enough for me)

[outro]
that’s right!
we’ve got the world (we’ve got the world), the here and now (the here and now)
and you know we’re gonna make it somehow (somehow)
find god within you — the rest comes naturally
the world right here and now’s enough for me
i say, the world right here and now’s enough for me
that’s right, the world right here and now’s enough for me
ohhhhh yeahhhh!
