The War on Intelligence Lyrics

It’s true
Science has a poor grasp on the mind
Yet it’s spectacularly better
Than your poor mind’s grasp on science

It’s true
Man’s moronic, deaf and blind
Yet you insult the few
Who actually know a thing or two

None of you has ever answered us:

Why?
Why all this?

Random babble is not the same as research
Who stands to gain from lying about the shape of Earth?
Conspiracy fantasy to mask your idiocy
The war on intelligence you dare to call “awakening”

Go ahead, deny the totality of human knowledge
All of science
All of reason
All the evidence
All the greatest minds

Newton, Ptolemy, Armstrong And Galilei,
Einstein, Hutton, Mawson, Scott, Magellan, Hawking, Amundsen - the lot
You make them vomit
In their graves

So the world is flat
Just because you want it to be
Well, saying so don’t make it so

How has any of your crap
Made the world a better place
How has any of your crap
Made the world a better place
Everyone’s a liar and you’re smarter than the world

You’ve got nothing

Nothing

A declaration of intellectual bankruptcy
The war on intelligence you dare to call awakening

You’ve got nothing

Nothing
