I'm Bettin'
Oh, I don't need to hurry
Oh, I don't need to care
Oh, I ain't got no worries
I've got no burdens left to bear
Cuz you know I'm bettin'
On the end of the world
You know I'm waitin'
For the final word
You know I'm bettin'
On it all to end
And if you see the clues
You could comprehend
Oh, I don't need to listen
Oh, I just have to believe
Cuz I know that my opinion
Can make reality
Cuz you know I'm bettin'
On the end of the world
You know I'm waiting
For the final word
You know I'm bettin'
On it all to end
And if you see the clues
You could comprehend
One and one and one and one
And one and one and one and one
One and one and one and one
And one and one and one and one
and one
(Credit: Julian Jaynes; The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind)
As for the kind of obedience to the operator
All of us do the same thing without thinking
In situations that are so defined
As with a teacher or traffic policeman
or perhaps the caller at a square dance
And as to such phenomena as suggested deafness
Everyone has had the experience of listening carefully to another person
and yet not hearing a word
And so the mother who sleeps through a thunderstorm
Yet hears and wakes to the cry of her baby
Is not engaging a different mechanism
From that of the hypnotized subject
who hears only the hypnotist's voice
And is asleep to all else
The comet's comin'
The comet's comin'
The comet's comin'
Ah!
Oh, I don't need to care
Oh, I ain't got no worries
I've got no burdens left to bear
Cuz you know I'm bettin'
On the end of the world
You know I'm waitin'
For the final word
You know I'm bettin'
On it all to end
And if you see the clues
You could comprehend
Oh, I don't need to listen
Oh, I just have to believe
Cuz I know that my opinion
Can make reality
Cuz you know I'm bettin'
On the end of the world
You know I'm waiting
For the final word
You know I'm bettin'
On it all to end
And if you see the clues
You could comprehend
One and one and one and one
And one and one and one and one
One and one and one and one
And one and one and one and one
