Honestly
Why the hell are you standing there
And what the fuck are you waiting for
You expectant smile is starting to
Get on my nerves
So tell me now
If you're such a fucking rationalist
So ruthlessly atheist
Why the hell are you a positivist
It doesn't work
Because honestly
If you ignore the terminology
Mainstream political philosophy
Grew out of Christian teleology
Despite the claims on the packaging
All the liberals and the communists
All the people making promises
Are pigs to the man and their premises
Are all the same
Everything is getting worse
Which hardly comes as a surprise
No one guaranteed anything else
So dry your eyes
And pull yourself together
Because things will keep on getting worse
The guys in white will never win
And I doubt we'll ever heal the world
But we can begin
By learning how to deal with
The conflicts that arise between us
Instead of pretending they'll go away
It's better to light a candle than to
Fantasize about the Sun
