Track 11 In Praise of Doubt
https://soundclick.com/r/s8gw1z
Anyone with half a brain will know it's better to refrain
From betting on the way the dice will fall
So why's it often seem to be, confronted by complexity
The future's vision holds us in its thrall
The random mix of human minds, chaotic unrefined,
Are never going to make a pathway clear
The only thing that's sure at all is everything in life's a call
Of that you can be be certain, never fear.
Yet who do the people trust
Which charismatic leaders
Whose thoughts upon us all are thrust
With glowing certainty
The arrogant, the vain, the smug
The egocentric breeders
Those who suckled on the jug
Of self-seeking vanity
The trouble with reality, it complicates causality
Its hard to get to the crux
However much you clarify, the truth quite often passes by
Reason can get lost in the flux
Some will just say c'est la vie
That's how it is, how it will be
Some things we can't comprehend
Just try to make the best of it
It's maybe good as it will get
It'll sort itself out in the end
Yet all life can't be laissez faire
Decisions must be made
Then those who for the future dare
Opinion can sway
But please beware when you hear
A simple stirring song
If you are told an answer clear
The chances are it's wrong
