If you've ever questioned beliefs that you hold
You're not alone
(Not alone)
But you oughta realize that every myth
Is a metaphor
(Metaphor)
In the case of Christianity
And Judaism there exists belief
That spiritual matters are enslaved to history

The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects
Override the myth
(Override the myth)
While other religions use the literal core
To build foundations with
(Foundations with)
See, half the world sees the myth as fact
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
Somehow, no matter what, the world keeps turning
Somehow we get by without ever learning

Science and religion
Are not mutually exclusive
In fact for better understanding
We take the facts of science and apply them
And if both factors keep evolving
Then we continue getting information
But closing off possibilities
Makes it hard to see the bigger picture
Consider the case of the woman whose faith
Helped her make it through
She was raped and cut up, left for dead in a trunk
But her beliefs held true
Doesn't matter if it's real or not
Some things are better left without a doubt, and
And if it works then 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
We get by, we get by, we get by
Without ever learning anything
We get by, we get by, we get by
Without ever learning
