Song of Innocence and Experience Lyrics
[DB]
What is innocence exactly?
Is it ever unattractive?
Do the people who are innocent
Think their innocence
Makes them better
Than the people
Who have lost their innocent bliss?
Hey, are you following this?
[SALLY]
And at what expense
Does innocence become experience?
Let us all commence
To celebrate our lives
Sometimes achievers
Busy as beavers
Might look back and say:
"Hey, Dad, look what I built today!"

Is it simply earned by living?
Do the people with experience
Need to understand
That a life that's richened

Does innocence become experience?
What's the consequence
When something new gives way?
For example, this building
How much music it will bring
I cannot say
But Dad, look what we built today

What expense

Does innocence become experience?
Let us all commence
To celebrate our lives
And to honor this building
How much music it will bring
We cannot say
But Dad, look what we built today
