Tekst piosenki
Somewhere in the world there is a father and a mother
And the father is a son who has a mother
And the mother has a daughter who gets married to
The brother of a mother
And they all just try to multiply with one another
Cause that’s just the way of the world
It never ends till the end and then you start again
That’s just the way of the world
That’s just the way of the world
[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the world they think they work all for themselves
They get up everyday to go to work for someone else
And somebody works for them and so they think they got a maid
But they’re all just working to get paid the very same
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum)
Somewhere in the world you got a robber in a bank
And the bank robbed the people so the people robbed the bank
And the police came to get him but they let him get away
Cause they’re all just working to get paid the very same
Cause that’s just the way of the world
It never ends till the end and then you start again
That’s just the way of the world
That’s just the way of the world
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum)
Don’t believe everything that you hear
Let it go through your left and right ear
Don’t just march to the beat of that drum
Don’t be one of them people just twiddling them thumbs
Cause that’s just the way of the world
It never ends till the end and then you start again
That’s just the way of the world
That’s just the way of the world
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum)
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum)
Cause that’s just the way of the world
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Utwór „Thumbs” został wydany 6 października 2016 roku jako promocyjny singiel drugiego albumu Sabriny Carpenter „EVOLution”. Jest to dziewiąta piosenka wykonywana na trasie koncertowej Carpenter o tej samej nazwie.
„Kciuki” to piosenka o tym, aby nie stawać się podobnym do innych ludzi. Sabrina walczy z ograniczeniami, stereotypami i szarością dnia codziennego. Zachęca do tego, abyśmy zawsze pozostawali sobą bez względu na okoliczności. Nie ważne czy ludzie zgadzają się na Twój sposób bycia, zawsze ruszaj do przodu. Bez względu na wszystko zawsze pozostań sobą.
Wydaje mi się, że muzyka powinna być uniwersalna; to jest język, w którym wszyscy mówią. Możesz przekazać wiadomość w tekście bez bycia tandetnym czy wyzywającym – spróbuj to zrobić. Myślę, że przesłanie zawarte w tej piosence jest ważne.
