Letra : The Science of Myth [live on WFMU]
If you ever question beliefs that you hold
You're not alone
(Not alone)
But you oughta realize that every myth is a metaphor
(Metaphor)
In the case of Christianity
And Judaism there exists belief
That spiritual matters are enslaved to history
The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects
Override the myth
(Override the myth)
While other religions use the literal core
To build foundations with
(Foundations with)
See, half the world sees the myth as fact
It's seen as a lie by the other half, and
The simple truth is that it's none of that, 'cause
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 not 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
You're not alone
