Album: My Brain Hurts
Year: 1991
Lyrics:
If you've ever question beliefs
That you hold you're not alone
But you oughtta realize that
Every myth is a metaphor
In the case of Christianity
And Judaism there exist
The Belief that spiritual matters
Are enslaved to history
The Buddhists believe that
The functional aspects override the myth
While other religions use the literal core
To build Foundations with
See half the world sees the myth as fact
And it's seen as a lie by the other half
And the simple truth
Is that it's none of that
And somehow no matter what
The world keeps turning
Somehow we get by
Without ever learning
Somehow no matter what
The world keeps turning
Somehow we get by
Without ever learning
Science and religion
Are no mutually exclusive
In fact for better understanding
We take the facts of science and apply them
And if both factors keep evolving
Then we continue getting information
But closing off possibilities makes
It hard to see the bigger picture
Consider the case of the women
Whose faith helped her make it through
When she was raped and cut up left for dead
In a trunk her beliefs held true
It doesn't matter if it's real or not
'Cause some things are better
Left without a doubt and,
And if it works then it gets the job done
Somehow no matter what
The world keeps turning
Somehow we get by
Without ever learning
Somehow no matter what
The world keeps turning
Somehow we get by
Without ever learning
Somehow no matter what
The world keeps turning
Somehow we get by
Without ever learning
Somehow no matter what
The world keeps turning
Somehow we get by
Without ever learning
Somehow no matter what
The world keeps turning
Somehow we get by
Without ever learning
