Welcome to the future
Geek Pop Three
Better find them a
Nice soft place to land
Cause they sound high
Theyre comin down
Find them a nice soft place to land right?
Pseudo-scientists, pseudo-mystics,
Pseudo-psychics
Its all pseudo
I want tomorrow to be better than yesterday
Thats why Im all about technology
So if you say slow it down!
Ill say fast forward
And if you want the benefits
But not the process then youre hypocrites
Everybodys wish list is
For new toys and tools and better medicines
And you can have this wish
Just ask the methodological naturalists
And if your spouse gets sick
Consult professionals never novices
Deep down you all know this
Jay-Z thanks I had to borrow this
To make sure tomorrow is
Filled with a bit less moronic shit
Whatever scientists can discover
You want that
When its justice and life or death
You want facts
But when you feel threatened by science
Its all bad
And you cant bring the future back
Mysticism and pseudo-science
We off that
Placebo effects and magic
Are off track
Religion and superstition
We off that
Cause you cant bring the future back
Tell them fools get off me!
Fraud we off that
Quacks we off that
Homeopathy?
Hell yeah, we off that
Is you still on that?
You should read Bad Science
And Trick or Treatment; theyre not bad
This aint black vs white; it aint east vs west
Its about the scientific method against myths
Its colour-blind justice and double-blind tests
So you cant make claims if you lack evidence
You say It suits me best
But you havent ruled out those placebo effects
And its sadistic
To peddle false medicines to poor sick kids
And yes its been tested
Prayer doesnt work against illnesses
What fuckin drugs is you on?
Tryin to use magic wands in Iraq to detect bombs
You fuckin punks, people die when you guess wrong
Thats why we got double-blind tests to detect frauds
And same with homeopaths
And psychic mediums and other phonies and quacks
Whatever scientists can discover
You want that
When its justice and life or death
You want facts
But when you feel threatened by science
Its all bad
And you cant bring the future back
Mysticism and pseudo-science
We off that
Placebo effects and magic
Are off track
Religion and superstition
We off that
Cause you cant bring the future back
Tell them fools get off me!
Fraud we off that
Ghosts we off that
God we off that
Hell yeah, we off that
Is you still on that?
You should read Dan Dennett
And Dawkins; theyre not bad
I dont give a fidduck abiddout the fiddaith
You used to have you can choose your path
And I dont give a fuck if you meditate
Just dont try to claim you can levitate
Theres some physical laws you can never break
Thats why theyre called laws, no exceptions made
And I dont give a fidduck abiddout the visions
You probably had; youre just a copycat
And yes, Im aware this is a copied rap
Its like evolution right? We all adapt
And I dont give a fuck if you hallucinate
Just dont try to make any truthful claims
Unless you can show us the proof we crave
Cause no aliens ever flew my way
So now its time to relax
Your mind and learn a couple science facts
Whatever scientists can discover
You want that
When its justice and life or death
You want facts
But when you feel threatened by science
Its all bad
And you cant bring the future back
Mysticism and pseudo-science
We off that
Placebo effects and magic
Are off track
Religion and superstition
We off that
Cause you cant bring the future back
Tell them fools get off me!
Spells we off that
The occult we off that
Astrology?
Hell yeah, we off that
Is you still on that?
But well still debunk frauds
Cause we still on that
