Comme Vous Le Faites Tous - Dan Bern

Galileo told us, this world is not the center of the universe 
The sun don't go around us 
We go around the sun
And the sun is actually really very small 
Well we fought Galileo
Tooth and nail 
And you would too 
It's what you'd have to do
You would--too 

When you go to France 
You discover that America
Is not the center of the world 
They don't know Michael Jordan 
They don't know Tiger Woods
And the president is a worse actor than Reagan 

I drop things out of windows
I wrap things 'round my head 
And you would too 
It's what you'd have to do 
You would--too 

I went to Jaziri; 
All the men were smoking out of water pipes 
I asked if I could join them
Politely they refused 
I'd do whatever that it took 
Convert to Islam, memorize whatever book 
To get that water pipe 

Ce soir, je pense
Que j'irai marcher le long de la Rivere
Si je suis inspire
Je pourrai imaginer des choses magnifiques 
Sinon j'observerai les filles 
Comme vous le faites tous 
And you would too
It's what you'd have to do
You would--too
