Baba Brinkman - Off That (Rationalist Anthem) lyrics

Welcome to the future geek Pop Three
Better find them a nice soft place to land
‘Cause they sound high they’re comin’ down
Find them a nice soft place to land right?
Pseudo-scientists, pseudo-mystics
Pseudo-psychics it’s all pseudo
I want tomorrow to be better than yesterday
That’s why I’m all about technology
So if you say "slow it down!"
I’ll say fast forward
And if you want the benefit's
But not the process then you’re hypocrites
Everybody’s wish list is
For new toys and tools and better medicines
And you can have this wish
Just ask the methodological naturalists
And if your spouse gets sick
Consult professionals never novices
Deep down you all know this
Jay-Z thanks I had to borrow this
To make sure tomorrow is


Filled with a bit less moronic shit

Whatever scientists can discover
You want that
When it’s justice and life or death
You want facts
But when you feel threatened by science
It’s all bad
And you can’t bring the future back

Mysticism and pseudo-science we off that
Placebo effects and magic are off track
Religion and superstition we off that
‘Cause you can’t bring the future back
Tell them fools get off me!
Fraud we off that quacks we off that
Homeopathy? Hell yeah, we off that
Is you still on that?
You should read Bad Science
And Trick or Treatment they’re not bad

This ain’t black vs white it
Ain’t east vs west it’s about the scientific
Method against myths
It’s colour-blind justice and
Double-blind tests
So you can’t make claims if you lack evidence
You say "It suit's me best"
But, you haven’t ruled out
Those placebo effects and it’s sadistic
To peddle false medicines to poor sick kids
And yes it’s been tested
Prayer doesn’t work against illnesses
What fuckin’ drugs is you on?
Tryin’ to use magic wands in
Iraq to detect bombs you fuckin’ punks
People die when you guess wrong
That’s why we got double-blind
Tests to detect frauds
And same with homeopaths
And psychic mediums and other
Phonies and quacks
Whatever scientists can discover
You want that
When it’s justice and life or death
You want facts
But when you feel threatened by science
It’s all bad
And you can’t bring the future back

Mysticism and pseudo-science we off that
Placebo effects and magic are off track
Religion and superstition we off that
‘Cause you can’t bring the future back

Tell them fools get off me!
Fraud we off that ghosts we off that
God we off that hell yeah, we off that
Is you still on that?
You should read Dan Dennett
And Dawkins they’re not bad

I don’t give a fidduck abiddout the fiddaith
You used to have – you can choose your path
And I don’t give a fuck if you meditate
Just don’t try to claim you can levitate
There’s some physical laws you
Can never break
That’s why they’re called laws
No exceptions made and I don’t give a
Fidduck abiddout the visions
You probably had you’re just a copycat
And yes, I’m aware this is a copied rap
It’s like evolution right? We all adapt
And I don’t give a fuck if you hallucinate
Just don’t try to make any truthful claims
Unless you can show us the proof we crave
‘Cause no aliens ever flew my way
So now it’s time to relax
Your mind and learn a couple science facts

Whatever scientists can discover
You want that
When it’s justice and life or death
You want facts
But when you feel threatened by science
It’s all bad
And you can’t bring the future back

Mysticism and pseudo-science we off that
Placebo effects and magic are off track
Religion and superstition we off that
‘Cause you can’t bring the future back

Tell them fools get off me!
Spells we off that the occult we off that
Astrology? Hell yeah, we off that
Is you still on that?
But we’ll still debunk frauds
‘Cause we still on that credit's
