Michael Braun - The Multiverse Is Nihilism Lyrics

My dad got a number in 1969
Picked from a jar while
The nation watched live
His number came late
And though some called it a scam
It meant he didn't
Die in Vietnam

What if what if what if what if
It's meaningless
When we question our existence
What if what if what if

My mom drove a Pinto in 1975
Stopped at a light and was
Hit from behind
If Nader was watching
He would have screamed no
But there was no spark
To ignite or explode

What if what if what if what if
It's meaningless
When we question our existence
What if what if what if

My wife got an offer in 2006
To work for the Census
In Washington DC
She might have loved it
And made a career
But then I wouldn't meet her
In June of that year

What if what if what if what if
It's meaningless
When we question our existence
What if what if what if

I swatted a fly in 1993
So it didn't bite
And spread a disease
But that disease could have killed
Some mass murderer
And this exercise just gets
Absurder -er -er

What if what if what if what if
It's meaningless
When we question our existence
What if what if what if
