"Rock Paper Scissors" asks the question: Why are you?
You've heard of 4-chord songs? Well, this one has two chords.
lyrics
Rock, paper, scissors: Which or these are you?
The one that holds the key? Or floats in any sea?
Or the one that's cutting loose?
Cut it loose!
Sword, pen, or periscope: Which one would you choose?
The one that wins the coup? Or writes down every clue?
Are you a probing eye for truth?
There's a man of men who wanders with an air of Mother Goose
“The key”, he said, “is hidden in your head...
...You just have to close your eyes and set it loose”
Set it loose!
Now that we had this discussion and we all know who is who
Do we need to sense a force to rise against?
Or be happy where we are?
Where we are!
