Embed: But isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina?
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be alive?

So original in her black lipstick
Listening to some obscure band
But isn't she pissed that all the other nonconformists
Listen to that same obscure band?
That's okay, she's helping the enviroment
By sipping pure water and such
Then she screams, "Let's start thinking about the ozone layer"
While tossing out a styrofoam cup

Does she think this world is all wrong?
Does she think I'll rob her and run?
When I ask her her, she gets her gun
And simply says, "Scat, boy, scat, scat"
All right (Whoo)
But isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina?
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be alive?

Ooh-hoo
Oh
Ooh-hoo
The first step to a successful revolution is destroying all competing revolutionaries

Real deep shit on her mind
"Let's kill the world, take over everything"
She says, "We don't need politicians, they breed mistrust
As a matter of fact, did you steal my, my purse?"
Purse, purse
Woo-hoo

Isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina?
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be a

Isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina?
Look at the birds in the sky (Hey, my, my, my)
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be a
Huh, isn't it beautiful to be a
Isn't it wonderful to be alive?

It's so wonderful
I feel like crying
Crying

Jehovah Made This Whole Joint for You Lyrics

Ooh-hoo
Ow
Ah-ha
Ah-ha

Meet a girl I met, Carolina
Her parents jumped off Niagara Falls
She broke her hips when she was a baby
Trying to hop the Berlin Wall
It's not that she is anti-American
Although she shot a mayor at 9
He looked just like the Prez on the TV (My fellow Americans)
But didn't know in '63 he had died

Does she think this world is all wrong?
Does she think I'll rob her and run?
When I ask her, she gets her gun
And simply says, "Scat, boy, scat, scat"
But isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina?
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be alive?

So original in her black lipstick
Listening to some obscure band
But isn't she pissed that all the other nonconformists
Listen to that same obscure band?
That's okay, she's helping the enviroment
By sipping pure water and such
Then she screams, "Let's start thinking about the ozone layer"
While tossing out a styrofoam cup

Does she think this world is all wrong?
Does she think I'll rob her and run?
When I ask her her, she gets her gun
And simply says, "Scat, boy, scat, scat"
All right (Whoo)
But isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina?
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be alive?

Ooh-hoo
Oh
Ooh-hoo
The first step to a successful revolution is destroying all competing revolutionaries

Real deep shit on her mind
"Let's kill the world, take over everything"
She says, "We don't need politicians, they breed mistrust
As a matter of fact, did you steal my, my purse?"
Purse, purse
Woo-hoo

Isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina?
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be a

Isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina?
Look at the birds in the sky (Hey, my, my, my)
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be a
Huh, isn't it beautiful to be a
Isn't it wonderful to be alive?

It's so wonderful
I feel like crying

The New Radicals were an alternative rock/power pop band that formed in Los Angeles, California in 1997, being centered around front-man Gregg Alexander, who wrote and produced all of their songs. They released only one album, 1998's 'Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too', a critically acclaimed pop rock album heavily influenced by classic rock and soul of the 60s and 70s that contained— amongst radio-friendly pop tracks and love songs— strong criticism of corporate America and modern culture. Aside from Alexander, the only other permanent member of the band was keyboardist and former child actress Danielle Brisebois. The remainder of the line-up was a fluctuating one revolving around the two of them, with the goal being to bring in a variety of musicians from many genres.

The band is best known for their debut single, titled "You Get What You Give", which became a top 5 hit in the United Kingdom and has garnered major U.S. airplay for years. The song's celebrity-dissing lyrics at its end provided a minor a spectacle, with Alexander saying that the media misunderstood the meaning. Despite the song's radical messages, anti-materialistic as well as pro-youth, it's ironically been used in many films and even a famous advertising spot.

Tired of touring and promotional interviews, with the group becoming more and more commercialized, Alexander disbanded the group in mid 1999 before the release of their second single, titled "Someday We'll Know". He has successfully focus on writing and producing songs for other artists, winning a Grammy award for his talents. Consequently, the stunning "Someday We'll Know" received little attention in most countries. The band is widely considered a "one-hit-wonder". Read more on Last.fm.
