Lyrics

MR & MRS AVERAGE THINK

Musicians:
Mr. and Mrs. Average think
The world is going off to sink
There’s nothing left clean, naive, free or pure
The bra-burning lunatics’ rise
Is cutting down the world to size
But OPUS10 has returned to reassure

OPUS10 & Musicians:
No time, precious time
The time is running out
Sing, hum, seek a rhyme
Let music banish doubt

OPUS10:
We start again
A turn around
The same old excitement; We cultivate the sound
Our listeners’ heart
That’s where we’re bound
We are not here either to dazzle or astound

OPUS10 & Anna:
We never go to extremes to attract attention
We want to integrate, not cause deviation

Musicians, Anna & OPUS10:
Mr. and Mrs. Average think
The world is going off to sink
There’s nothing left clean, naive, free or pure
The bra-burning lunatics’ rise
Is cutting down the world to size
But OPUS10 has returned to reassure

Anna:
All the photographs,
All the new tracks must be ready on time

Musicians:
It’s serious work
To uphold the norms
In an era when lives and values change their forms
To stay in charts
To stay informed
Sing happy songs in the eye of gathering storms

Musicians & OPUS10:
And now we’re working on a grand Christmas surprise
A perfect album that will clear away the lies

Musicians, Anna & OPUS10:
Mr. and Mrs. Average think
The world is going off to sink
There’s nothing left clean, naive, free or pure
The bra-burning lunatics’ rise
Is cutting down the world to size
But OPUS10 has returned to reassure

(The musicians prepare to leave the studio for the evening)

Mr. and Mrs. Average think
The world is going off to sink
There’s nothing left clean, naive, free or pure
The bra-burning lunatics’ rise
Is cutting down the world to size
But OPUS10 has returned to reassure

No time, precious time
The time is running out
Sing, hum, seek a rhyme
Let music banish doubt

(Exeunt the musicians, Katherine & Rita)

Anna, Reno, and Kurt:
No time, precious time
The time is running out
Sing, hum, seek a rhyme
Let music banish doubt
