about

Unplugged sentiment with Lisa on vocal, Stu on ukulele. This universe is ripe for improvement.

lyrics

Why won't the universe take my advice
To lighten up and be more nice
Give everybody a break or two
What would it hurt?

Why won't the universe listen to reason
Try to be a little more pleasing
Tell more stories with happier ending
With all the sad bits gone?

Why won't the universe have a meeting
To discuss how I'm feeling
We could have coffee and doughnuts
I could draw some graphs.

Why won't the universe answer my letters
With great ideas for getting better
Listing all the things if could do
To help us out?

Why won't the universe have some pity
Make me just a little more pretty
Then I would get all the respect I deserve
Because I'd look so good?

Why won't the universe make me a winner
I'd even take it out to dinner
I'd let everyone have seconds
That they could take home and share.

I mean, seriously when you think about it, why can't sleeping in be the best exercise ever, and chocolate should be reverse calories and sex should cure cancer, why not universe' why not?

Sun and moon don't seem to care
World keeps turning through the air
But the universe ain't so big that it can't
change its mind.
