Accidents All the Way Down

No plan No blueprint No designer at the desk

Just a molecule That figured out How to copy itself And made a mess

Accidents all the way down Accidents all the way down

Four billion years of oops And look what happened Eyes Ears Lungs that breathe Brains that wonder why they're breathing

A fish grew legs And walked ashore Didn't mean to Didn't plan for it The water just got shallow And the ones who crawled Got dinner

Accidents all the way down

Your sense of humor Is an accident Your ability to cry At a piece of music Is an accident The fact that you can fall in love Was never in the specs

And yet

And yet

Here it all is Working Impossibly well For something nobody designed

Accidents all the way down Accidents all the way down

A meteor killed the dinosaurs And that's why you exist That's the deal One species' worst day Was the opening For everything you feel

No plan Just pressure and time And a universe That rewards Whatever works

Accidents all the way down And every single one of them Led here
