Socrates the Python Lyrics

Today ...
Your problems are not
Of blind belief
That is or means
Belief ain't enough, belief ain't enough
The oracle of your age
Point towards the word
Psychological

You may freeze
You may fear
You may wince
And not hear
You can sick at the heart
When I say
"God is one"
Does God the word
Make you reel
And I mean, real

But it isn't God the father son or holy one,
But the key to your age
Get it together, and listen
With all the books
On the shelf
All the wisdom
With all the books
On the shelf
All the wisdom

My favourite by Mr Murphy. The music is hauntingly beautiful and the lyrics hit home quite well.

Song is clearly about philosophy and theology. The thing about God the word refers to the idea of the logos, that a perfect god can't interact directly with imperfection so he sends a "word" (Jesus)
