lyrics

"go and measure anything to a certain degree"
"well, the closer i look the less certainty i see"
"chemical change can be the color you see"
"well the spectrum is perception i see personally"
"blueprint a building with important degrees"
"they will be flawed by a factor of safety"
"take medicine to make all the pains decrease"
"them drugs are addicted to a dude like me"

in a world where words mean nothing
and the books are all the same
science is magic
knowledge is static
time is space

put up walls and call it freedom
fill the prisons with tvs
science is magic
knowledge is static
time is space

we'll forget the past
and we can all be free to invent mythologies
create internal worlds
the size of which are beyond our human means
and we'll overreach
until our potential is so squandered
that we'll get nowhere fast
critical mass

we'll forget the past
and we can all be free to invent mythologies
for all the population
will believe in things they cannot see
cuz seeing is believing
and we'll lose our sight
and it will no longer matter
if we're wrong or right
goodnight

my orb's a dense poly-ethyl plastic
with lights that dance with the passing traffic
and in silhouettes of swirling smoke
i saw the light leaving lumps in my throat
i silently screamed
a little excited
i knew i was right
i'm always right

our wounding world's on a wound-up coil
s stiff spring that sprung strait out of the soil
snd the song it made came tinny and erratic
i heard it loud amid the tv's static
and when it let go
it went without warning
whirling off in the distance
doomed to explode

as was foretold
