I don't know how worried to be
About this world, it's plain to see
That lots of folks
Share my point of view
You tell us it's bad, it could get worse
Thank you Mr Paperman for all your words of encouragement
From your Underwood every day
Chorus:
Look around, you'll see
Kindness and sobriety
The backbone of society
Expects to see reality
You've been telling us the planet's got diseases
I'm here to tell you that's just Reese's Pieces
This old world's .... just growin' up
You tell us that the end is nigh
Then it's off to dinner and tie your tie
Step up and collect your pararazzi Pulitzer prize
Chorus:
Look around, you'll see
Kindness and sobriety
The backbone of society
Expects to see reality
Instrumental
Chorus:
Look around, you'll see
Kindness and sobriety
The backbone of society
Expects to see reality
A little less attention to the seamy side
A little recognition of the brighter side of
The journeys we make
Along life's puzzling path
You tell a good story and your story's fine
You filter all the facts comin' in on the line
But between you and me
Reuters left something out
I don't know worried to be
About this world, it's plain to see
That lots of folks
Share my point of view
You tell us it's bad, it could get worse
Thank you Mr Paperman for all your words of encouragement
From your laptop every day
Chorus:
Look around, you'll see
Kindness and sobriety
The backbone of society
Expects to see reality
