D.I.Y. World Lyrics by Bono & The Edge

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark

2011

[NORMAN & EMILY]
Cause we can be what we wanna be
And we need to be what we gotta be
That's what we oughta be in the DIY World

[NORMAN]
Tomorrow belongs
To the brave
Not the slave
But the brave

[ENSEMBLE]
Cause we can be what we wanna be
And we need to be what we gotta be
Do it yourself
Do it yourself
DIY world

[NORMAN]
Gamma rays
Tidal waves
Influenza there’s so many ways
The human race can take a hit
We’re gonna sink but you can swim
If you don’t mind a little change of skin
Designer jeans are a better fit

[ENSEMBLE]
Cause we can be what we wanna be
And we need to be what we gotta be
That's what we oughta be in the DIY World

[NORMAN]
Tomorrow belongs
To the brave
Not the slave
But the brave

[ENSEMBLE]
Cause we can be what we wanna be
And we need to be what we gotta be
Do it yourself
Do it yourself
DIY world

[PETER]
Rising seas, no more trees

[ENSEMBLE]
Can be a frickin' fleet of killer bees!

[NORMAN]
We're masters of creation

[NORMAN & PETER]
DNA is the way

[NORMAN]
Now that evolution's had its day

[NORMAN & PETER]
Intelligent design solution

[NORMAN & ENSEMBLE]
And we
We could live for a thousand years!

[ENSEMBLE]
Cause we can be what we wanna be
And we need to be what we gotta be
That's what we oughta be in the DIY World

[ENSEMBLE A]
Cause we can be
What we wanna be
And we need to be
What we gotta be
That's what we
Oughta be
In the DIY world

Cause we can be
What we wanna be
And we need to be
What we gotta be
That's what we
Oughta be
In the DIY world

[ENSEMBLE B]
Do it to yourself
To yourself
Do it to yourself
Do it to yourself
To yourself
Do it to yourself

Do it to yourself
To yourself
Do it to yourself
Do it to yourself
To yourself
Do it to yourself

[NORMAN]
Tomorrow belongs to the brave
Not the slave but the brave

[NORMAN, spoken]
Imagine! We could produce super strength Electric Reflexes! Powers once reserved for the ancient gods are now within our grasp!

[ENSEMBLE, sung]
And we, we could live

[NORMAN & ENSEMBLE]
We could live for a thousand years!
