Lyrics That’s What It’s About - Akira the Don , Alan Watts

All really humane people admit that they're rascals
That's you see on the side of the not respectable, the selfish
But so also all humane people should admit that they're jokers,
That they are playing games and playing tricks
That I am doing it on you, I am most ready to admit this
I hoaxed you all into coming here to tell you what?
It was a trap, you see?
But, I'm gonna make it an entertaining trap
So, that you won't feel so badly about it
Now, this is philosophy, and I think philosophy is like music
You go to a concert and you listen to somebody play Bach,
Or Mozart, or Beethoven, and what's that all about?
(What's all that about?)
What's the point of that? You know it isn't about anything, except

"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
You know, that's what it's about
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
You know, that's what it's about

And so in the same way
As I conceive my work as a philosopher
I'm simply pointing out that existence is the same
Kind of a thing as a Bach invention
It's going this way, and that way, and hills,
And water is going "tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch", all out there
And the fish are going around in it, and breeding,
And the ducks are (swimming in the water)
And that's the same thing as, "dee-dee-dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
See? So, if you can admit that, that that's what it's all about,
You have a little problem
Because there's not only the threat that it really might be
Serious and that you shouldn't be laughing about it
Now, there's also a kind of opposite,
Then are you saying it's merely just fiddling around?
I mean, are you saying it's only a game?
Is that all there is to it? And what do you think?
You see this again is a question, that everybody
Has to think things through, what did you want?
Didn't you want a game? Did you want it to be serious in the end?
I mean think about the question, what kind of a
Thing would you like God to be?
What would you like to do for eternity?
Really?

"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
You know, that's what it's about
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
You know, that's what it's about
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
You know, that's what it's about
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
"dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee diddly-dee"
You know, that's what it's about
