I'm starting to fear the break of day.
The universe ain't got a steady way.
If I could just grab hold of its stem,
I'd drag it around like a candy gem.
Oh, my aching head, what a mess!
I’ve landed in a cosmic guess.
Came back from my astral flight,
Wallet gone — what a sight!
They came in herds, they came full force.
Piling on without remorse.
“get the atom, sure” I say
“But what’s sub it,
anyway?”
Mercury's retro, Venus's metro, Pluto's little fuss,
North Node connections, Jupiter-Uranus, all about us!
Stars are shifting signs, they're movin' for your love life's sake,
Like the whole damn universe has got no better game to make.
Man, are you insane?
Take your brain, shove it wherever, feel no shame.
You can believe in any crap,
just don't try selling it to me, that's the aim.
They found the big secret, wrote a book, sold millions more,
Fools call it virtue, but it’s just cash in store.
Thought they’d crack the universe’s vending machine code,
And just pull out the cash, get rich on the road?
Look at that tailless monkey, so dumb and blind,
Believing the cosmos will cut him a special kind.
They came in herds, they came full force.
Piling on without remorse.
“Get the atom, sure” I say
“But what’s sub it, anyway?”
“Pray day and night,” they say,
“What if you wake up as a bug one day?”
These dummies can't comprehend, you see,
Samsa's just my middle name of me.
With half a brain, I drag my pace.
My reasoning limps all over the place.
I can’t help but count on uncertainty’s rule.
That principle that makes the world so cruel.
They came in herds, they came full force.
Piling on without remorse.
“Get the atom, sure” I say
“But what’s sub it, anyway?”
Ignorance and poverty knock on the soothsayer’s door.
Those seeking healing, but wasting time for sure.
In schools and classes, superstition runs wild.
Kids lose out in contests, the truth defiled.
No math, no bio, no philosophy taught,
mythology chases the ones who skip science’s lot.
I read like a novel, billions of years unfold.
Carbon-based, amino acids, enzymes’ hold.
Prokaryotes, eukaryotes, single to multi-cell,
Dizzying beauty in every detail to tell.
Forget the myths, now read, question, research, and learn,
Scientific minds can raze the palace of lies...
watch it burn.
