The Architect

What is the architect doing? He is by the riverside What is he thinking out there? He is committing egocide Now isn't that a strange thing? Well to him it feels just Well we guess a person's gotta do, What a person feels he must He said I won't throw myself from the pier I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year And when the year is over I'll reappear And have a solution I've reason to believe that what I find Is gonna change the face of human kind And all these years before well I was blind That's my conclusion 'Cause I'm the architect 'Cause I'm the architect 'Cause I'm the architect Now the man has understood That outer space is overrated and too About all the problems on this earth we should Worry now to solve them later And so he's brooding and alluding on a perfect design He thinks that working on behalf of himself is a crime He flushes out by the water, a view so divine He's the architect of his own fate, a man in his prime He said I won't throw myself from the pier I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year And when that year is over I'll reappear And have a solution I've reason to believe that what I find Is gonna change the face of human kind And all these years before well I was blind That's my conclusion 'Cause I'm the architect 'Cause I'm the architect 'Cause I'm the architect And so he drew himself a pentagon Thinking it through a geodesic dome From the coast of Tahiti, to the hills of Rome Step aside cause the man will take the Nobel prize home He said I won't throw myself from the pier I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year And when that year is over I'll reappear And have a solution Now if these aspirations bother you Well you are just you, you don't have a clue I'm sticking to the plan I will see it through Let there be no confusion 'Cause I'm the architect 'Cause I'm the architect 'Cause I'm the architect
