Screeching Weasel - The Science Of Myth lyrics
[Screeching Weasel - The Science Of Myth lyrics]
If you've ever questioned 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
And 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
Consider the case of the woman whose
Faith helped her make it through
(Make it through)
When she was raped and cut up
Left for dead in a trunk
Her beliefs held true (Beliefs held true)
It doesn't matter if it's real or not
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
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
And 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

Somehow, no matter what
The world keeps turning
