lyrics

Copernicus the Capricorn
Was Feeling just a little torn
When I told him that he could not just
Disprove all he wanted
We settled all our discord when we
Made our trades and promises he
Never really spoke much ‘till he
Thought about philosophy

This is what I’ve come to know
That he and Henry Dave Thoreau
Just both needed a little break
I think they learned this from the snake
If you ever knew Van Gogh
Or had a friend to overflow
Your process, you would know that it was
Okay, okay, okay, okay

Hold on
Proved you wrong
Proved you wrong again

Copernicus wants to go out
So we left home and ran about
‘Till he began to have some doubt
When he looked at the sky
I told him not to light the flame
And stay calm to remain the same
As everybody else because it’s
So bad to be different

Still the thoughts ignited truth
But he would never stop his sleuthing
‘Till he could united the youth and
Break down all the walls, yes
He went on and changed the world
In his own way for all the girls
He’d never even met but that was
Okay, okay, okay, okay

Hold on
Proved you wrong
Proved you wrong again

Copernicus began to see
The natural philosophy
That led him to rewind the clock
On everything we thought
Foundations of the greats applied
The spheres of heaven all had died
To let the stars revolve, collide
And go around the sun now

Clergymen and skeptics fought
Astronomers and thinkers sought
A legacy of basic thought
And I just watched and pondered
My dear old friend had died alone
A book laid down upon his throne
Before his mind was known but it was
Okay, okay, okay, okay

Hold on
Proved you wrong
Proved you wrong again
