We Don’t Matter At All Lyrics by Patricia Marand, Don Chastain

It’s a Bird... It’s a Plane... It’s Superman (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[JIM]
What are we? A pair of puny primates
On a very tiny planet
In a minor galaxy!
We don't matter at all
One big boom! and it'll all be over;
Or perhaps the smog will finish
Our short, dull history
We don't matter at all
Oh sure, every hundred years or so
We come up with a Gandhi or a Michelangelo
Hooray! Ain't that dandy, we say
Then we muck things up
In the same destructive way
So, here you are: an earnest girl reporter
And you think you're something special
In this vast eternity
Baby, you and I
We're just about as special
As a walnut or a fly
We don't matter at all
We don't matter at all
We don't really matter at all
[JIM (spoken)]
Am I getting through to you?
[LOIS (spoken)]
Not yet
[LOIS]
What are we? Two little specs of nothing
Just a couple of amoeba
In the universal sea
We don't matter at all
What am I? Some phosphorus and water;
I've heard chemically speaking
Worth a dollar eighty-three
We don't matter at all
I know, that my eyes aren't merely blue
They're just ophthalmic lenses
Rather inefficient too
I know, and I find it all a bore
Oh, Professor, I have had this course before
So here we are: two herrings in the ocean
And the overbearing herring
Is coming on with me
Wrong approach--to me I'm much more special
Than a walnut or a roach
Oh, we matter we do
What's the matter with you?
People really matter
[JIM]
What's so great about people?
[LOIS]
People really matter...
[JIM]
They couldn't matter less than...
[JIM AND LOIS]
...they do
