Comme Vous Le Faites Tous

Dan Bern

Galileo told us, this world is not the center of the universe

The sun don't go around us

We go around the sun

And the sun is actually really very small

Well we fought Galileo

Tooth and nail

And you would too

It's what you'd have to do

You would--too



When you go to France

You discover that America

Is not the center of the world

They don't know Michael Jordan

They don't know Tiger Woods

And the president is a worse actor than Reagan



I drop things out of windows

I wrap things 'round my head

And you would too

It's what you'd have to do

You would--too



I went to Jaziri;

All the men were smoking out of water pipes

I asked if I could join them

Politely they refused

I'd do whatever that it took

Convert to Islam, memorize whatever book

To get that water pipe



Ce soir, je pense

Que j'irai marcher le long de la Rivere

Si je suis inspire

Je pourrai imaginer des choses magnifiques

Sinon j'observerai les filles

Comme vous le faites tous

And you would too

It's what you'd have to do

You would--too
