Cat Empire – Rhyme And Reason lyrics

Rhyme and reason, reason and rhyme,
We ask the old man what is the time
The time he said I do not know
The clock stopped working sometime ago
What a disaster was our reply
We don't know if its 1 o'clock or half past 5
The man kept talking things were fine
Looking to the sun he said the time was for
Reason and rhyming

Reason and Rhyme, rhyme and reason
We asked the old lady what is the season
The season she said you can't be sure
The weather is strange can't tell you anymore
woh my god woh my god woh my god
What a thing we don't know if its
Summer autumn winter or spring
Then she said this may be pleasing
The time has come for rhyme and reason

Rhyme and reason and destination
We ask ourselves what is this nation
This place they say is no mans land
And terra nullius is written in the sand
So what with all these spaces
Why can't we be independent?
And combine the races
Well we will see what we can do
Like time and season
We will rhyme and we'll reason along
