Akira The Don, Alan Watts - The Way the World Actually Is lyrics

The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex
Interrelated organism
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex
Interrelated organism

The same problem arises in medicine
Because the body is a
Very complexly interrelated organism
And if you look at the
Body in a superficial way
You may see there's something wrong with it
Here's chicken pox, and the spots that itch
You might say, "Well, spots are there
Cut 'em off" so you kill thе bug
Well, then you find you've got rеal problems
Because you have to introduce some
Bugs to kill the bug
It's like bringing rabbit's into Australia
And that starts going all over the
Place and getting out of hand
Then you think, "Now, wait a minute it
Wasn't the bugs in the blood
There are bugs all over the place
What was wrong with this person
That his blood system suddenly became
Vulnerable to those particular bugs?"
His resistance wasn’t up
Therefore, what you should have given
Was not an antibiotic, but vitamins
Okay, so we're gonna build up his resistance
But resistance for what?
You may build up resistance to this
And this and this class
Of bugs, but then there's another
One that loves that situation
It comes right in

The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex
Interrelated organism
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex
Interrelated organism

See, we always look at
The human being medically
In bit's and pieces
Because we have heart specialists, lung
Specialists, bone specialists
Nerve specialists, and so on
And so on they each see the human being
From their point of view
There are a few generalists
But they realize the human
Body's so complicated
That no one mind can understand it
And furthermore
Supposing we do succeed in healing all
These people of their diseases
What do we then do
About the population problem?
I mean, we've stopped cholera
The black bubonic plague, we're getting the
Better of tuberculosis
We may fix cancer and heart disease
Then what will people die of?
Well, they'll just go on living
With the enormous quantities of us
Then we have to fix this birth thing
Pills for everyone then we find what are the
Effects, the side effects, of those pills?
What are the psychological effects
Upon men and women
Of not breeding children in the usual way?
We don't know we don't know
We don't know we don't know
We don't know we don't know

The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex
Interrelated organism
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex
Interrelated organism

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
