Since mankind was put on the earth, we’ve believed there is a plan
Descartes, just for example, said ‘I think therefore I am’
Plato believed humanity always makes the Good their aim
While for Kierkegaard futility was the same
For Kant the highest purpose was existence in itself
Bankers worship blank cheques when they come from someone else
For David Beckham life revolves around a little ball
While Karl Marx believed ‘Das Kapital’ was all
But whichever way you care to spell it out
The simple things are what life’s all about
And so it’s cuddling, sex and holding hands
There’s caressing and there’s sighs
Disputing over little things
Then making up another time
It’s also loneliness and constant yearning
To share each other’s lives
The plan of life is plain and simple:
Let us multiply
For Socrates the unexamined life’s not worth a thing
And Life as a great circle is the point of Lion King
Rousseau, he got it right that virtue is the best idea
Through it the meaning of our life’s becoming clear
The wonders of this world are in demand
Will the Vatican ever come to understand?
And so it’s cuddling, sex and holding hands
There's caressing and there’s sighs
Disputing over little things
Then making up another time
It's also loneliness and constant yearning
To share each other's lives
The plan of life is plain and simple:
Let us multiply
Is this something that you’d rather just deny?
Man is vain and overestimates his worth
He lives to win, to have a job and to digest
Ignores the heavens and keeps his eyes fixed on the earth
But time is short before he finds eternal rest
And so it’s cuddling, sex and holding hands
There’s caressing and there’s sighs
Find yourselves through one another
Lose yourselves where you can’t hide
We still can make smart conversation
Our revolution will still rise;
It changes nothing; life knows only
We will multiply
Life teaches us that there’s nothing more worthwhile
