Correction Lyrics Organized Mess by Alan Watts

Lyrics

Another way of talking about the web
Is that there are different levels of magnification
For example, supposing you take a piece of embroidery
And here it is, obviously, in front of you; an ordered and beautiful object
And then you take out a microscope, and you look at the individual threads
At a certain point, as you turn up the microscope, you’ll get a hopeless tangle
Which doesn’t make any sense at all
The wrapped fiber that constitutes the thread is a mess
Hasn’t been organized, nobody did anything about it. But at the level of magnification at which you actually see it with the naked eye, it’s all been organized

It’s all been organized
It’s all been organized
It’s all been organized

Alright, now keep turning up that microscope
Take one of those individual threads in the fiber that seems to be so chaotic, and go into the constitution of that
And again, you’ll find fantastic order
You’ll find the most gorgeous designs of molecules
Then, keep turning it up
And again, at a certain level you’ll find chaos again
Alright, keep going
And at another level you’ll find there’s marvelous order
Now, you see, order and randomness constitute – in other words, the warp and the woof
Where everything is in order, everything’s under control; in randomness, it’s all

It’s all been organized
But it’s a mess
It’s all been organized
But it’s a mess
It’s all been organized
But it’s a mess
It’s all been organized
But it’s a mess
It’s all been organized
But it’s a mess
It’s all been organized
But it’s a mess
It’s all been organized
But it’s a mess
It’s all been organized
But it’s a mess
