Paroles et musique : Rex Potam

Ma dernière chanson, dédiée aux gens qui croient tout savoir.
Quelques surprises dedans, notamment une métrique peu commune (5/4), et des emprunts modaux en-veux-tu-en-voilà.

Santa Claus will come
If I am a good child
Daddy and Mummy told me
They know everything

I know it
I believe it
Cannot be otherwise

Mary’s so pretty
I think of her and stutter
Mum and Dad do not know that
I’ll soon marry her

I know it
I believe it
Cannot be otherwise

Solid skills from school
My work ticks round and sound
I have new friends who teach me
White is black and the world’s not round

I know it
I believe it
Cannot be otherwise

Ideas leak from ship as mice
I must un-learn many facts
Trust freely given is nice
But check your guts for mistakes

I know it
I believe it
Cannot be otherwise

I know it
I believe it
But — can be otherwise
