lyrics

have you read your Kant and read your Hume?
strong-armed a fable on fated afternoons?
the leaky cistern rambles at the school,
just the facts apart from any grid to put them through.

and it will rip apart the lattice
it will pop your red balloon
it doesn't pay to want the truth

this is a stick-up. mind your own.
studies show that nothing can be known except for what studies have shown.
I am servant-sure. I am Scooby Do.
just a grid apart from any facts will have to do.

and it will walk you up to madness
it will gouge your eyes to see
it will walk you up to madness
it will gouge your eyes to see
it doesn’t pay to want the truth

and you can walk me to the stake.
the flowers bear their witness every day.
and you can nail Him to the tree.
and call it arboreal therapy.
it doesn’t pay to want the truth.
