Twenty Questions Lyrics
Is the cup half empty, or is the cup half full?
Does the sun rise at dawn, or does the earth just spin along?
Or is it all perspective on how we see the world?
How many countless life forms are on a little ball that twirls?
Are we instrinsically separate beings?
Or could we possibly be parts of the same thing?
Water feeds the plants and the sunshine makes them grow
So how can anyone be an island on their own?
Does life make me happy, or does it bring me down?
Do I have what need, or do I just want what's around?
Am I seeing truth, or do I just see wool?
Well is the cup half empty, or is the cup half full?
Does the sun rise at dawn, or does the earth just spin along?
Or is it all perspective on how we see the world?
How many countless life forms are on a little ball that twirls?
Or could we possibly be parts of the same thing?
Water feeds the plants and the sunshine makes them grow
So how can anyone be an island on their own?
Do I have what need, or do I just want what's around?
Am I seeing truth, or do I just see wool?
Well is the cup half empty, or is the cup half full?

Cool song. It would've fit right in on Hello Nasty. I believe the vocals are by Yauch & Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto.
Such a gentle, philosophical song for the Beastie Boys. I believe that this song samples "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard" by Paul Simon.
