Big Word Tyranny Lyrics
By Don Chaffer
Well, there's electro-therapeutic means to alter synaptic firings
Which will symptomatically relieve schizophrenic arms and legs.
But that's just esoteric doublespeak and it's getting pretty tiring.
What you're really endorsing here is just another form of cerebral scrambled eggs.
BRIDGE
It's all evolutionarily synchronized
Or synergistically realized.
Copulation is genetically mandated.
Altruism only held by the mutated.
CHORUS
Praise to You, Big Daddy
You hide good things from smarty pants
Only play peek-a-boo with babies.
Now you say faith is semi-atavistically inherent.
That is, that what I believe is somehow rooted in my great great great great grandparent.
And this tangled skein of evolution, in which survival's the only solution,
Makes marginal my intestinal response.
It equates the largest spirit battle with delusionary prattle,
And grounds its arguments in scientific taunts.
