Lyrics
Our God looked down what did He see
Reflecting on God's observation of the world
The work of His mighty hand
Acknowledging God's creation and craftsmanship
Saying if this world should end it wouldn't hinder me
Expressing God's detachment from the world's end
As I contemplate the works of man
Contemplating human achievements and actions
I made man and woman I gave them simple tools
God's creation of man and woman with simple tools
And all the charming creatures to keep their company
Creation of charming creatures for companionship
But they desired of things that was against the miles
Humans desiring things contrary to God's intentions
And television was the worst of all
Television criticized as a negative influence
Yes now television was the worst of all
Reiterating the negative impact of television
It's a humpty dumpty world a humpty dumpty world
Describing the world as broken and chaotic
A ball of confusion spinning around and around and around
Depicting the world in confusion and constant motion
I thought I had built upon a solid rock
Initial belief in a solid foundation shattered
But it's just a humpty dumpty world
Confirming the broken nature of the world
Rabble rousing politicians on the TV screen
Criticizing politicians inciting hate on TV
Sowing the seeds of hate and fear ih
Accusing politicians of spreading fear
I've heard it said you sow and you shall reap
Quoting the principle of reaping what one sows
Don't come crying to me when you fall
Warning against seeking sympathy after negative actions
Craven minions sent from down below
Referring to corrupt figures in powerful positions
Occupy the highest portals of the land
Corrupt individuals occupying high positions
As swift as their climb as sure is their decline
Emphasizing the swift rise and fall of corrupt figures
Straight back to hell from whence they came
Expressing a return to negativity and corruption
I'm leaving in the morning go ye and do likewise
Announcing a departure from the current state of affairs
Get your Coke jug, boys bottle up and go
Encouraging others to leave and seek a different life
Tell the saints and angels we're bound for Mexico
Informing heavenly beings about the departure to Mexico
And laissez le bons temps rouler
French phrase meaning "let the good times roll"
Down in Mexico
Referencing a positive atmosphere in Mexico
Laissez le bons temps rouler
Repeating the phrase "let the good times roll"
It's a humpty dumpty world a humpty dumpty world
Reiterating the chaotic and broken nature of the world
A ball of confusion spinning around and around and around
Emphasizing the constant confusion and turmoil
I thought I had built upon a solid rock
Revisiting the shattered belief in a solid foundation
But it's just a humpty dumpty world
Affirming the continued brokenness of the world
That's all it is
Concluding with a resigned acceptance of the world's state
(A humpty dumpty world, a humpty dumpty world)
Repeating the description of the world as broken
I wouldn't give you a nickel...
Expressing a lack of value for the current state of the world
