Thumbs - Live at Pandora Headquarters, Oakland / February 2017
Somewhere in the world, there is a father and a mother
And the father is a son who has a mother
The mother has a daughter, who gets married to the brother of a mother
And they're all just tryna multiply with one another
'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends 'til the end, and then you start again
That's just the way of the world
That's just the way of the world
Somewhere in the world, they think they're working for themselves
They get up every day to go to work for someone else
And somebody works for them, and so they think they got a maid
But they're all just working to get paid the very same
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
Somewhere in the world you got a robber and a bank
And the bank robbed the people
So the people robbed the bank
And the police came to get him
But they let him get away
'Cause they're all just working to get paid the very same
And that's just the way of the world
It never ends 'til the end, and then you start again
That's just the way of the world
Well that's just the way of the world
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
Don't believe everything that you hear
Let it go through your left and right ear
Don't just march to the beat of that drum
Don't be one of them people just twiddlin' them thumbs
'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends 'til the end, and then you start again
That's just, well that's just the way of the world
And so they keep on
Skiddly-dee-da-da-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-da-dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum-dum
They gonna keep on, a lie
Skiddly-dee-da-da-da-da-dum-da-da-dum
They keep on, they keep on
They keep on, they keep on
Twiddlin' them thumbs
That's just the way of the world
And the father is a son who has a mother
The mother has a daughter, who gets married to the brother of a mother
And they're all just tryna multiply with one another
'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends 'til the end, and then you start again
That's just the way of the world
That's just the way of the world
Somewhere in the world, they think they're working for themselves
They get up every day to go to work for someone else
And somebody works for them, and so they think they got a maid
But they're all just working to get paid the very same
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum

And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-da-dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum-dum
They gonna keep on, a lie
Skiddly-dee-da-da-da-da-dum-da-da-dum
They keep on, they keep on
They keep on, they keep on
Twiddlin' them thumbs
That's just the way of the world
