LYRICS
I tried dialing “Operator”
A message said, “Try (again) later”
Hey! What am I suppose to do
If I can’t get through?

I tried dialing “9-1-1”
They said, “We can’t help you… none.”
Guess it’s nothing new
Society’s point-of-view

Operator! The Creator
Separator — wheat from chaff
Alienator — frown from laugh

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 2
G Am
Am Em

Made in the USA (Philadelphia and West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

After a conversation with my son about Richard Dawkins, I pondered on the obsolescence of a Great Operator. Songs like the Black Keys’ Little Black Submarines and Pink Floyd’s Young Lust refer to a telephone operator. Will people know what they are talking about now that phone operators are obsolete? Does the same hold true for the concept of God?

LYRICS
I look to the sky to see what’s ahead
Nothing but blue skies in bed
Look at the bright side… you could wake up dead

Chorus
I look to the ground and see where’s my head
So glad we have evolved… no need to dread
More apt to adapt if you strive to stay alive
More likely to survive if we strive to thrive

I look out of me to see if I can see
I look inside of me to see what I’ll be
Look at the bright side… I got to be me
And, you? You, too!

Chorus
