Figurin' It Out
Ol' Ben Franklin by his stove gettin' warm
Eating salty crackers with his bi focals on
Waiting on the mailman to bring the almanac
Check out the personals in the very back
Poor Richard calls for rain but Ben thinks he might
Take a walk outside and fly himself a kite
He's Figurin' It Out
One mistake at a time
Damned if the reason
Ain't worth all of the rhyme
Ain't waiting on no one
To show me the way
I'm Figurin' It out
It takes up most of my day
Thomas Edison alone watching TV in the dark
When an idea came upon him crossed his mind
Like a spark
Says I think I'll make a lightbulb
Then I won't have to hide
Alone in the dark trying to read my TV Guide
I'm gonna take a bunch of pictures
And teach them how to move
And cram a bunch of music
Down into a deeper groove
He's Figurin' It Out
One mistake at a time
Damned if the reason
Ain't worth all of the rhyme
Ain't waiting on no one
To show me the way
I'm Figurin' It out
It takes up most of my day
DaVinci's on a rooftop with a pair of cardboard wings
A stack of empty bottles and a new decoder ring
Says I wonder what would happen
If i timed the wind just right
Surrender inhibition and jump with all my might
Jump's just what he did he lingered for awhile
And just before he hit the ground
He saw Mona Lisa smile
He's Figurin' It Out
One mistake at a time
Damned if the reason
Ain't worth all of the rhyme
Ain't waiting on no one
To show me the way
I'm Figurin' It out
It takes up most of my day
Eating salty crackers with his bi focals on
Waiting on the mailman to bring the almanac
Check out the personals in the very back
Poor Richard calls for rain but Ben thinks he might
Take a walk outside and fly himself a kite
He's Figurin' It Out
One mistake at a time
Damned if the reason
Ain't worth all of the rhyme
Ain't waiting on no one
To show me the way
I'm Figurin' It out
It takes up most of my day
Thomas Edison alone watching TV in the dark
When an idea came upon him crossed his mind
Like a spark
Says I think I'll make a lightbulb
Then I won't have to hide
Alone in the dark trying to read my TV Guide
I'm gonna take a bunch of pictures
And teach them how to move
And cram a bunch of music
Down into a deeper groove
He's Figurin' It Out
One mistake at a time
Damned if the reason
Ain't worth all of the rhyme
Ain't waiting on no one
To show me the way
I'm Figurin' It out
It takes up most of my day
DaVinci's on a rooftop with a pair of cardboard wings
A stack of empty bottles and a new decoder ring
Says I wonder what would happen
If i timed the wind just right
Surrender inhibition and jump with all my might
Jump's just what he did he lingered for awhile
And just before he hit the ground
He saw Mona Lisa smile
He's Figurin' It Out
One mistake at a time
Damned if the reason
Ain't worth all of the rhyme
Ain't waiting on no one
To show me the way
I'm Figurin' It out
It takes up most of my day
