zen and the science of nihilism - robot goes here lyrics
drew a black dot in the center of my palm and i was
visited by the face of divinity dressed to kill in its
six-sided form.
can you see the row-sham-bow that darwin tattooed on
your skin?
i bet you think you can but you’re obviously wrong, or
you wouldn’t be using protection, now would you?
// so i burn this song as a tribute to my gods: chance
and the span of four billion years.
science as religion i’m a man of the cloth: logic and
reason like the flame and the moth.
your brain is just a beautiful machine forever
calculating nothing. [nothing!]
so here’s a koan for the modern age:
how many rolls of the endless-sided die did it take to
make a reason why? //
saw a squirrel by the base of a tree and it struck me
powerfully how stupid and pointless life is.
i know that’s melodramatic but its true.
all of our ideas about what’s important are merely
self-delusions.
a biologist might say that s-x really matters, but even
that’s not true cause who cares if your genes get
p-ssed on?
so on the lawn of my parents’ house i found nihilism –
who cares what it means?
so i burn this song as a tribute to my gods: chance and
the span of four billion years. science as religion i’m
a man of the cloth: logic and reason like the flame and
the moth. your brain is just a beautiful machine
forever calculating nothing. so here’s a koan for the
modern age: how many rolls of the endless-sided die did
it take to make a reason why? //
but i’m still looking for a job and writing this song,
’cause after all, it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t
matter.
in light of this, here’s another question with no
answer:
what will you do tomorrow?
