Akira The Don, Alan Watts - That's What's It's All About lyrics

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

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
