Lyrics
Socrates The Python
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Today
Your problems are not
Of blind belief
That is or means
Belief ain't enough, belief ain't enough
The oracle of your age
Point towards the word
Psychological
You may freeze
You may fear
You may wince
And not hear
You can sick at the heart
When I say
God is one
Does God the word
Make you reel
And I mean, real
But it isn't God the father son or holy one
But the key to your age
Get it together, and listen
With all the books
On the shelf
All the wisdom
With all the books
On the shelf
All the wisdom
