Hoosiers, The - Goodbye Mr A Lyrics






Goodbye Mr. A

There's a hole in your logic
You who know all the answers (oh-oh-oh-oh)
You claim science ain't magic (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And expect me to buy it

Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch

If life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up

So busy showing me where I'm wrong
You forgot to switch your feelings on, (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So, so superior, are you not
You love a little bit but you forgot

Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch

If life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up

Goodbye Mr. A
Goodbye Mr. A

Goodbye Mr. A
The world was full of wonder until you opened my eyes
Goodbye Mr. A
Wish you hadn't blown my mind and killed the surprise

Goodbye Mr. A
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch

Your life is subtraction
Your number is odd
Your love is a fraction
It's not adding up

    I just realized this song is about the character Mr A, created by Steve Ditko, an objectivist superhero who later became The Question and inspired Rorschach from Watchmen.

  7. L.... S....

  14. R.... S....

    10 year challenge

  15. G.... ....

    This is pretty good. This didn’t even cross the Atlantic and here it is, yet again, over a decade later, I’m hearing old music as new music for the first time. Oh well, that’s how it goes.

  16. I.... S....

    good old days...

  17. M.... ....

    Fifa 08

  18. d.... S....

    I didn't know that Ben Stiller could sing😂

    11 years later and we’re still saying bye to Mr A

  21. D.... i....

    no spoilers, but Goro akechi in Royal 😳😳

  22. D.... D....

    The most iconic FIFA song, hands down

  23. S.... ....

    Anyone here from Singstar ?

  24. A.... M....

    Is this song a "God call out"?

  25. A.... ....

    2020 anyone?

  26. m.... p....

    It’s 2020 and I still here to say good bye Mr. A...❤️

  27. F.... ....

    Adam levine

  28. H.... D....

    Only just realised this song was inspired by The Matrix (Which was inspired by the actual matrix). Agent Smith to Mr Anderson AKA Neo


    How could THE ONE ever get dominated by a secondary.

    H.... D....

    Wow your right, makes sense with the lyrics too. Goodbye Mr Anderson. Philosophical movie!

    H.... D....

    @OnTheLooseEscape the matrix, don't let the agents blind you

    H.... D....

    @JAPE GANG MUSIC True, the one will expose the artificial rulers we are currently serving and we can finally work for everybody as a whole and not the 1 percent

  29. R.... T....

    Imagine kidnapping a superhero so you can sing at him

    R.... T....

    Retro Theo it would be a weird day

    R.... T....

    Retro Theo I would serenade Black Widow.

  30. T.... L....

    I miss all the singer looks like Ben Stiller comments :(

  31. K.... E....

    Seeing this on tour soon. So excited!

  32. R.... S....

    Goodbye mr. fifa

  33. J.... H....

    stealing my brother's PSP to play FIFA 08 and listen to this... damn that's over a decade ago

  34. R.... _....

    A good use of the engineering design process.

  35. H.... C....

    FIFA 08 ps3 at 1:36

  36. r.... ....

    Wait, did they kill a good guy, is Mr. A good? I always thought he was a supervillain

    r.... ....

    redder_dominator yeah I was thinking he could be a good guy caught by bad guys. What good guys captures the bad guy before killing him.

    r.... ....

    redder_dominator I think he was a good guy who became corrupt

    r.... ....

    IntroBert well I’m not sure the newspaper said missing superhero and mr A

    r.... ....

    redder_dominator I think the song describes a fake superhero. He is good but not actually good. And these guys are fed up with how Mr H was knocking about so they replaced him.

  37. C.... E....

    discovered this purely on accident, actually pretty catchy

  38. S.... ....

    fifa 08

  39. A.... 9....

    fifa08 anyone ?

  40. O.... T....

    FIFA NOSTALGIA!!!

  41. D.... ....

  42. R.... M....

    Anyone here after the sidemen video

    R.... M....

    lol yeah, how did they know that song

  43. r.... b....

    Is anyone going through a weird journey of the YouTube algorithm?

    r.... b....

    rosa black yes

  44. o.... w....

    Ay wheres ma fifa 8 mandem

  45. L.... S....

    Ronaldhinio and Rooney nuff said

  46. J.... H....

    I use to listen this song, I might had watched the video but I can't recall them, doing an 60's batman theme

  47. H.... H....

    DR P sends his regards.

  48. R.... C....

    Mr Blue Sky, please tell us why, you ha.... oh, my mistake

  49. g.... c....

    what the song is about: a math teacher dying
    music video: *band kills super villain*

  50. F.... _....

    The viedeo is shit but the music is legendary

    F.... _....

    The videos well good

  51. K.... ....

    MTV will never be the same

  52. D.... H....

    Lol the views is so sad. Why why why.

  53. A.... T....

    I heard this on the radio the other day. I’d forgotten just how utterly terrible this band were. And this is a total, blatant and shameless fucking rip off of Mr Blue Sky. I’m surprised that Jeff Lynne hasn’t filled these boys in 😄

  54. C.... ....

    0:43
    0:43
    0:43

    C.... ....

    i am concerned

  55. V.... J....

    PLAY AT 2:28 IT SOUND LIKE THE BEATLES

  56. P.... H....

    I have heard this song in the background of every fifa video ever

  57. j.... ....

    if this band's plan was to have me mistake them for other indie bands with double letters in their names then boy howdy it's sure working

  58. s.... ....

    Goodbye Mr Ray

  59. A.... S....

    Fifa 08

  60. V.... J....

    Who is mr.A?

    V.... J....

    Mr a = mr Anderson was their maths teacher in school who died around 2006

  61. V.... J....

    Why this sounds like Beatles late 60s music
    Its sounds like paul mccartney

  62. C.... ....

    I am still waiting for a part two to this story

  63. r.... �....

    Ben stiller becomes a superhero

  64. �.... �....

    это видео нужно заблокировать во всех странах

  65. A.... ....

  73. S.... A....

    Goodbye mr a, bye bye baby blue...

  74. J.... D....

    ahhhh FIFA 08 😭

  75. P.... Y....

    I remember playing this on my zune throughout highschool in 2008 or was it 2007. It reminds me of some bosses songs in games

  76. D.... ....

    I'm here because of Philosophytube!

  77. O.... L....

    This sounds like an early Panic! At The Disco song! I could totally picture Brendon Urie singing this. Great song 👏🏼

  78. A.... H....

    Spiderman far from home lookin pretty good so far tho

  79. c.... ....

    Goodbye Mr. Epstein
    You promised you would [REDACTED], but you knew too much

    c.... ....

    catlover67803 uh
    What are you referencing

  80. T.... ....

    GOODBYE MR. AIDS

  81. m.... h....

    2000s British pop music was the best

  82. I.... M....

    So uh... Who's watching this in 2019 with fond memories of FIFA 08?

  83. K.... G....

    Esta canción la empece a escuchar en el fifa 2008 de play y me gusto.

  84. N.... U....

    Who is here for FIFA 08?

  85. S.... S....

    I can only see Ben Stiller

  86. V.... ....

    I only just noticed Mr A is a play on the word Mystery

  87. x.... ....

    Ok but like, what if this song was about the actual mr A comics and not a political commentary? Mr. A was kinda of a dick who only though in black and white. He would never consider himself wrong, as that would make him evil. Kinda fits the song a little bit.

    x.... ....

    it has nothing to do with the comic book character its actually supposed to be in memory ofIrwin’s english teacher, Mr anderton
    Irwin said this song is about the man who knew everything, "but he goes mad with his own power. Because he corrects everyone, but nobody wants to know their faults, because then the world becomes a very complicated place and less happy. So it's that thing of how everyone knows someone who knows too much.”

    x.... ....

    @Soggy Ahh ohh ok. Thanks.

  88. L.... S....

    Here because of Philosophy Tube

  89. T.... H....

    This deffo says mr aids a couple of times lol

  90. s.... ....

    Damn why didn't they use this song as the theme for "the boys"

  91. E.... C....

    FIFA 08!!!!

  92. D.... R....

    Did we ever get a sequel to this video?

  93. E.... T....

    Oh god I love this so much. Who else listening in Oct 19??

  94. M.... H....

    when you finish learning the first letter of the alphabet

  95. D.... ....
