(D)Has our (G)con science shown?

So I walk up on high,

and I step to the edge

to see my world be low.

And I laugh at my self,

as the tears roll down,

’cause it’s the world I know.

Oh, it’s the world I know.

Oh, it’s the world I know.

Yeah, I walk up on high,

and I step to the edge

to see my world be low.

And I laugh at my self,

as the tears roll down,

’cause it’s the world I know.

Oh, it’s the world I know.
