all we ever wanted
is to know how they shake off every impulse
looking up evolution's skirt
to see what the future will bring
the stink that smacks our nostrils
tracked down its origin and reason
somehow we just can't help but feel
we've beat up the wrong guy
everything seems to work fine
but something doesn't compute
it does not compute
everybody's feeling alright
but something doesn't compute
it does not compute
the answer has gone to waste
the question is wrapped in hesitation
but all the handshakes in the world
couldn't grasp why this is absurd
every time this happens
some representative of instinct
slips you his business card and leaves you
to figure out what it means
this sinking feeling,
that there's more than meets the eye
you just have to wonder why,
you just have to wonder why
everything seems to work fine
but something doesn't compute
it does not compute
everybody's feeling alright
but something doesn't compute
it does not compute
this sinking feeling,
that there's more than meets the eye
you just have to wonder why,
you just have to wonder why
everything seems to work fine
but something doesn't compute
it does not compute
everybody's feeling alright
but something doesn't compute
it does not compute
