Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I love TV sitcoms and soap operas
Cliff-hanger, re-run courtroom dramas
All intelligence is artificial
We're just making love on a malistic missile
[Chorus]
Don't let them tell you how to feel
You don't believe in the big idea
Hey, what's the big idea?
[Verse 2]
You can make plans for the aftermath
Or try to make your favorite person laugh
You know exactly where you're going
Your to-do list is an epic poem
[Chorus]
Don't let them tell you how to feel
You don't believe in the big idea
Hey, what's the big idea?
Hey, what's the big idea?
[Verse 3]
I brought poppy seeds to a gun fight
I put a match to an electric tea light
I feel your heart beating in your hair
Drinking fresh milk at the county fair
[PreChorus]
Now everything else at the moment
Is just slowly stealing focus
And I open like a lotus
Enlightened and completely hopeless
[Chorus]
Don't let them tell you how to feel
You don't believe in the big idea
Don't let them tell you how to feel
You don't believe in the big idea
Hey, what's the big idea?
Hey, what's the big idea?
Hey, what's the big idea?
[Outro]
I got a big idea
I got a big idea
I got a big idea
I got a big idea
I saw the best parts of my generation (I got a big idea)
Dismantled the system only to replace it
Huddled 'round burnin' while looking for love
I believe in one God that nobody should trust
