EXP - Remarkable (Non-Explicit Swearjar Version) Lyrics

So don't worry if you think you're not remarkable
Most humans think they haven't come far at all
And that's the truth but don't just take it from me
You were made in a star and every particle
Came together to make you the finished article
The chance of you defies all probability (Believe, so leave, it be, you'll see)

You are the infinitesimal un-likeliness
The result of everything since the big bang provided us
With all the elements that make life from dust
And enough time to go from simple life to... "huh?"
Somehow we perceive and have a consciousness
But there's a consequence, what we want is just
Confused between our instincts from prehistoric times
Food, shelter and passing our genetics down the line
And modern times, how we feel, how they feel about you
What you think, what you want, what you needed to do
We're the intellectual equivalent of supermarket shopping
Too much choice, too much freedom, too much option
Some take what they see: get straight off the aisle
Some stand making decisions, it may take them a while
Some of them are straight in denial and often miss out
But I tell you I hate shopping, I'm forever in doubt
I'm not one of the celebrities - done nothing with my life
My accomplishments are minimal, got lucky with my wife
I got lucky with my current job and lucky with my family
Got lucky being born at all, but luck is not a plan B
It's not a fall back - it's funny how we exist
Just keep on plodding up a mountain of mist
Knowing at some point: we'll fall down off a cliff
And your brain gets the better of you, drowns you in lists
You can't relax before you tick 'em off
For every little job you do another sixty's not
I've discovered you're either a pessimist with too much to do
Or a hedonist who snoozed and he losed... lost

So don't worry if you think you're not remarkable
Most humans think they haven't come far at all
And that's the truth but don't just take it from me
You were made in a star and every particle
Came together to make you the finished article
The chance of you defies all probability (Believe, so leave, it be, you'll see)

I knew I wanted to make music for the rest of my days
And that's all I've done and now the time is ebbing away
And I've killed many projects cos they weren't the best ones I made
And then I wrote this stuff and still thought that the message was vague
And recently I've been waking every day in a rage
Angry at each and every thing I feel that gets in my way
Until I realised everything I have is not here to stay
And I should even be thankful for things that feel like a pain
Cos feeling feelings is the very definition of life
And needing reasons for existing's inefficient on time
And each and every person feels they need a piece of the pie
They're either greedy or they seem to lose their seat in the line
I've been in pieces recently, the Grim Reaper will hide
And wait until you breathe easy then unreasonably strike
And leave your family devastated who plea for rewind
But this is all part of a human being's design
And we're so quick to forget that we're a miracle
The statistics on people's happiness these days is pitiful
They'll say you should become something to be an individual
But you're the original and greatest there's ever been of you

So don't worry if you think you're not remarkable
Most humans think they haven't come far at all
And that's the truth but don't just take it from me
You were made in a star and every particle
Came together to make you the finished article
The chance of you defies all probability (Believe, so leave, it be, you'll see)
