Song 4

Engineering solutions are the answer
To the miseries that human kind surround.
To the miseries that human kind surround.
You can always find the way to move things forward
If you’ll only keep your feet upon the ground.

You’ve simply got to state the problem clearly
And adopt an analytic frame of mind.
A decision made in haste will cost you dearly
It’s through reason the solutions you will find.

Nature speaks the language of mathematics
And religions are where lazy people hide.
Electronics, laws of motion, hydrostatics
When you’ve quantified things – then you can decide

Is the world the joke of some capricious being
Or the product of inexorable laws?
When it’s innards we have found new ways of seeing
Will we understand its fundamental cause?

Are there reasons underlying every process?
Are there rules that hold the universe in check?
Or are spirits hiding out in every recess?
Has some demon been around to stack the deck?

I see no need of any hidden mover
The world is so much bigger than their god
There’s a universe that’s out there to discover
And I’m the blind man, tapping with his rod.
