Blimp Rock - Dear Science Lyrics

Dear Science
How do you explain my horoscope
And the way it gets me to a T?

Dear Peter it's science
You know I worry about confirmation bias
How we only check cases that verify to us those things that we'd like to believe

Dear science
How do you explain
My haunted room and the way
The plates fly off the shelves

Dear Peter
Though that's hard to prove in beakers
Studies have shown most poltergeist scenes
Are cruel jokes played by teens

There is no such thing as a fact
We believe we want
It's simple as that

What does that mean? Sounds like bullshit
Things can be proven
Just ask Darwin

Dear science
How do you explain
Placebo and the brain
Is that not mind over matter?

Dear Peter
If the mind is what the brain does
And the brain's made of cells and synaptic structures
Isn't mind over matter really just matter over matter?

Okay well then science
How do you surmise
What people see when the die
And come right back to life?

Well Peter
A brief review of recent research
Suggests that quantum information forms your soul and leaves your brain
And when you well then you see the light

There is no such thing as the truth
We make our own truth
It's as simple as that

Peter then how, are you on the ground?
It's cause gravity
Is weighing you down

Science my friend
You have made a good case
But I still believe in mysterious ways

Peter that's up
To you my old pal
I've enjoyed our debate
Now let's get some chow
