I did this song by ear because it's so hard to find lyrics for bands like make believe. And i did it because i know this song is about the evolution debate. The album cover is a fish with legs with a caption that says "of course". If you look at the lines:
We're each free to choose between two sides
The first side says we're each free to choose between two sides
The other side of these two sides that we're each free to choose betweens the side that says what other side
It's basically the intelligent design people saying, "hey teach the controversy in classrooms across the US." while the other side of these two sides which consists of scientists, says "What controversy?" addressing evolution. This has happened recently in kansas and other bible belt states. it is good to see a modern band addressing the attempted attribution of pseudo-science in our classrooms.
I hadn't noticed it until you pointed out that lyric, but there's a spoken word bit in "Field Recordings of Dreams" by Tim Kinsella where he also talks about these "two sides"... Interesting interpretation, too.

Awesome. Good observations. Thanks, this is my favorite song on Of Course or Another Song About Camping.
