The Science of Myth - Screeching Weasel

If you’ve ever question beliefs that you hold you’re not alone

But you ought to realize that every religion is a metaphor

While other religions use the literal code to build 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

Consider the case of the woman whose faith helped her make it through

When she was raped and cut up, left for dead in a trunk, her beliefs held true

It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not

Cause some things are better left without a doubt and

And if it works and 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

Somehow we get by without ever learning
