Sting —
One Fine Day (Live)

Lyrics and Music by Sting, Dominic Miller, Lyle Workman, Josh Freese
(Live At The Olympia Paris)

Optimists say,
The future’s just a place
We’ve never been.
Histories say,
We’re doomed to make
The same mistakes.

Between the two I can’t decide,
Really I must choose a side.
I guess I’ll wake up smarter,
One fine day.

Apologists say,
The weather’s just a cycle
We can’t change.
Scientists say,
We’ve pushed those cycles
Way beyond.

Dear leaders,
Please, do something quick,
Time is up, the planet’s sick.
But hey, we’ll all be grateful,
One fine day?

Today the North West Passage
Just got found,
Three penguins and a bear
Got drowned,
The ice they lived on
Disappeared,
Seems things are worse
Than some had feared.

…It’s progress of a kind,
Who knows what else
We’re going to find?
I guess we’ll wake up smarter,
One fine day.
One fine day.

Today it’s raining dogs and cats,
Rabbits jumping out of hats,
And now what’s got us all agog,
Tomorrow it’s a plague of frogs.
We must do something quick or die,
When snakes can talk
And pigs will fly,
And we’ll all be so much wiser,
One fine day.
One fine day.
One fine day.
Ooh, hey.
One fine day.
One fine day.
One fine day…
