[00:00.00]Common - Let It Lie (From Smallfoot: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
[00:17.09]So many questions.
[00:19.11]I think it's about time I give you some answers
[00:30.71]What is this?
[00:36.71]You see, Migo
[00:37.47]There was a time when Yetis lived beneath the clouds
[00:39.69]We were alive and we were thriving till we came across a crowd
[00:42.97]Of Smallfoot, that's right, we used to live down there
[00:46.26]But there were actions we could not forgive down there
[00:49.04]And though they used a different nomenclature
[00:51.76]Man, or human, they showed us human nature
[00:56.36]A dangerous species that we approached with wonder
[00:59.14]They attacked with spears and their smokin' sticks of thunder
[01:02.67]They called us Sasquatch, they called us abominable
[01:05.85]They chased us, pursed us, their persistence indomitable
[01:08.07]We had no choice but to run and hide
[01:11.66]Otherwise, we surmised we were facin' genocide
[01:15.04]So we climbed this mountain just to stay alive
[01:17.62]You see we knew that up here Smallfoot cannot survive
[01:21.25]So it was here the first law was written in stone
[01:24.18]It was named and proclaimed as a truth to be known
[01:27.56]Our world is an island, it floats on a sea of endless clouds
[01:30.90]That's how we would be
[01:33.32]And then we wrote more laws, more rules to obey
[01:36.45]For the sake of us all it was the only way
[01:39.63]To protect us from all of the human ravages
[01:42.82]Heaped upon us by those human savages
[01:48.70]Now you know, now you know, now you know
[01:49.38](Now you know, now you know)
[01:51.71]And new rules apply
[01:52.82](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[01:55.70]So it's best just to let it lie
[01:58.78](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[02:01.91](Now you know, now you know)
[02:03.48]And you can't deny
[02:05.34](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[02:08.23]That it's best just to let it lie
[02:13.05]But my Smallfoot, he's not like that
[02:15.17]They're all like that. Tell me, when you found him
[02:18.20]Did he greet you with open arms?
[02:27.75]They don't care about us.
[02:29.01]They don't care about anything but themselves.
[02:31.59]Which is why we must do the same,
[02:34.02]If we care about our future
[03:07.04]Wait, we're below the clouds
[03:08.65]Or so it would seem
[03:10.06]But look closer
[03:11.46]Those aren't clouds, it's steam
[03:14.23]The stones are working
[03:16.85]The stones?
[03:19.38]Every job and every task is pointless as it seems
[03:22.62]All of it ensures that this important machine
[03:25.60]Keeps turning and turning and spinnin' around
[03:28.33]So those below don't look up and those above don't look down
[03:31.82]And they'll look 'cause even if they hear of these atrocities
[03:35.26]The only thing stronger than fear is curiosity
[03:38.39](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[03:41.67](Now you know, now you know)
[03:44.44]Wait so, so none of those stones are true, they're all lies?
[03:46.97]Good lies to protect our world
[03:48.38]But they need to know the truth
[03:49.69]Oh do they?
[03:50.96]You feel emboldened by your noble quest to find the truth
[03:53.94]I chalk it up to the naive innocence of youth
[03:57.07]So let me share a secret that you'll learn as you grow older
[04:00.31]What's true or not true is in the eye of the beholder
[04:03.39]So do you wanna prevent our own annihilation? (Yes!)
[04:06.47]Then our only goal should be to control the flow of information
[04:09.10]Unless you wanna see the Smallfoot conquer and pillage (No!)
[04:12.93]Then protect the lie and you protect the village
[04:17.28]Lives are at stake, Migo.
[04:19.40]Your friends, your father, Meechee.
[04:27.43]She's curious and you know what they say:
[04:30.36]Curiosity killed the yak
[04:33.19]So what do you want me to do?
[04:34.76]Tell everyone you were lying about the smallfoot
[04:37.80]But they've already seen it, they're not gonna believe me
[04:41.58]You'll be surprised at what they'll believe
[04:44.87]You think knowledge is power, Migo?
[04:47.40](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[04:50.23](Now you know, now you know)
[04:51.89]Question is
[04:53.51](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[04:56.41]What are you gonna do with that power?
[04:59.69](Hmm, hmm)
