We're gonna have to make about a billion things

Billion Things words and music copyright Bibi Farber 2010


We're gonna have to make about a billion things
gonna make the stuff that goes on our sunburns and bee stings
gonna have to make it all ourselves
all the lava lamps rubber stamps and things that Staples sells
Gonna get a little bit expensive
The learning curve will definitely be intensive

We're gonna have to make about a billion things
gonna have to make all of our own beach balls and porch swings
gonna have to make the hammers and nails and all the pink ribbons little girls put in their pigtails
Gonna take us in a new direction
Gonna start a brand new connection

I'll make for you and you make for me
make something strong I'll make something pretty

And we'll feel alive
Slow down as we go down this new road
we'll survive
find our way and make each day something special
we get to explore
nothing's like before

We're gonna have to make all our Ipods and cellphones and paper cups for all of those summertime snow cones
Someone better make sneakers and shoes
and someone else better learn to make booze
they're gonna be so many new unknowns
I may as well be living with The Flintstones

I'll make for you and you make for me
Make something strong
I'll make something pretty

Our sun will always rise and shine
close your eyes and redefine
we're standing at the edge of a brand new time

we're gonna have to make about a billion things
gonna have to make all of our own picks and guitar strings
Gonna have to make the flat screen TV's
Eat home made crackers with home made cream cheese
How am I ever going to get dental floss
and all the stuff you're going to need for your hair loss?

Can anyone make a coffee maker?
Can anyone even make a salt shaker?

I'll make for you and you make for me
Make something strong I'll make something pretty

But someone's gonna have to make lamp wires
and someone's gonna have to make hair dryers
and someone's gonna have to make frying pans
If you don't live in the south you can't have pecans!
Do you think the human race is gonna prevail?
You think that we can get along without e-mail?
Forget about losing and winning
Here comes a brand new beginning.


we'll feel alive
Slow down as we go down this new road
we'll survive
find our way and make each day something precious
we get to explore
nothing's like before
