"Uh, so yesterday was Martin Luther King's birthday
It came and it went"
"It's one of my favorite songs of yours"
"I remember thinking about that
When I was dressed like a power ranger
Riding my motorcycle over to Bill's house
Made me feel really extra good"

Martin Luther, who did you think that you were?
Appointed by some higher up
Merely mortal, your plans were unaffordable
No one wants to pay for love

Oh, you beautiful fool
Swimming upstream, kicking up waves
Dreams weren't meant to come true
That's why they call 'em dreams
Oh, you beautiful fool

Walter Cronkite preempted Disney one night
And all us kids were so upset
We thought that you were a trouble instigator
Marching through our TV set

Oh, you beautiful fool
Swimming upstream, kicking up waves
Dreams weren't meant to come true
That's why they call 'em dreams
Oh, you beautiful fool

To fight a fight without a fist
All human instinct puzzles this
How dare you threaten our existence?

Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ
History repeats itself so nice
Consistently we are resistant to love

I saw you on the black and white
With blacks and whites applauding you
I saw you on another time
With, without a sign of life in you

Oh, you beautiful fool
Swimming upstream, kicking up waves
Oh, dreams weren't meant to come true
That's why they call 'em dreams
Oh, you beautiful fool
Oh, you beautiful fool

"Alright, thanks
Okay, let's see uh
"Gonna play a Guy song
You might not want to put any reverb on this one Philip
'Cause this, this needs to be right in this room, this song
It's personal, it's not a cave song
Although it might hearken back to the caveman days"
