The Big Idea Songtext
von Lily Talmers

What the hell′s the big idea? Nothing's really bad, brother
Nothing′s really that good either, it's all in your attitude
So try out that fine platitude
Things work out in the end, brother
I could say I love you til I mean it, til you mean it too

And I believe in paradoxes floating through the air
Something awful happens one minute
Something beautiful the next
Would you say yes to the crackling of darkness that you see?
Pretty soon the sun is shining out and onto everything

It's fine by you, fine by me
Nothing′s ever really bad you see
And nothing′s really that good either
There is never any better place to be


What the hell's the big idea?
People often go swimming
In their favorite notion or an ocean or a lake
Even babies they know how to swim if given proper help
Believe me, I′m afraid of drowning too, so please just hear me out

It's fine by you, fine by me
Nothing′s ever really bad you see
And nothing's really that good either
There is never any better place to be

I once met a bad, bad person
He was so unkind to me
I wrote two years of songs about him
It just happened naturally
I then realized there is no bad, just people learning many things
At many different paces, some resist and some learn easily

It′s fine by you, fine by me
Nothing's ever really bad you see
And nothing's really that good either
There is never any better place to be
