[Verse]
When I woke up this morning
Much to my surprise
The sun was going down
And I was still alive
I looked into the mirror
And according to my eyes
The martians have invaded
It's hopeless
I went to see my doctor
To ask him what to do
Depending on the diagnosis
I said, "doc, I'm seeing double
And how are both of you?
No cause for alarm, it's hopeless
You don't stand a chance, it's hopeless
Everybody dance!
Well, there's paradise and doomsday
It depends on which comes first
There's inner peace through meditation
There's optimists and pessimists
I don't know which is worse
But the yogi mow mow, but the yogi mow mow
It's hopeless
The solution has been dissolved
The crisis has been resolved
There's no need to change your plans
It's a hopeless situation
For tomorrow is another day
And everything will be okay
And by the way, it's hopeless
(hopeless)
