lyrics

There's something you should know.
There's something you should know.
I've finally caught on to your game.
Oh you're so self-assured.
Oh you're so self-assured.
And so certain of everything.
But maybe just pretend.
But maybe just pretend.
You're not as smart as you think you are.
Just take a look outside.
Just take a look outside.
You're in a glass house and throwing stones.

This is a backlash, a flashback,
Stimulus overload.
This is a crossed wire, short circuit,
An info-dump.
This is a neural transmission,
You never listened once.
It all changed and you were on the...
Wrong side.

The religious layman builds his life around writings that he does not fully comprehend, written by people he never met, and interpreted by people with ideas to sell.

The scientific layman builds his life around writings that he does not fully comprehend, written by people he never met, and interpreted by people with ideas to sell.

Notice the difference?

This is a backlash, a flashback,
Stimulus overload.
This is a crossed wire, short circuit,
An info-dump.
This is a neural transmission,
You never listened once.
It all changed and you were on the...
Wrong side.

These are the last rites for a dead mind.
Obsolete way of thought.
An admission of ignorance,
A mantra worn out.
These are false facts / facts are false,
And you believed so hard.
Zealot or rejectionist?
The difference is semantic.

There are no absolutes...
