Thoroughly considered
Carefully decided to be fit to the model of aligned means and ends
Cause and effect, outcome prearranged
Look at the equations as they sum up too well
Pure oscillation, quantum precognintion
Feeling good or bad or anyhow the quarks decide
So noone ever change, they only flow along
At the faculty of (public sponsoring)
philosophers and physicians settled a common case:
Since every quark is constituted of the waves
excited by past events, our life is no different from the dead
So what you really say is that I'm a case, an inanimate device
Couldn't it be like our very human nature
constitutes of a reasoning and a concious stream?
I cannot grasp the notion of a programmed mind
Would it state why I chose to turn up late?
Or why she passed then, and why my heart raced by her sight
Then it's preordained, me asking her out
You're starting to conceive - It's purely quantum leap
This discovery rejects our human soul
That foul old idea that you can choose your own goal
Suddenly everyone got meaning to their life
It proved as though the meaning was only casuality
I'm a leaf in the wind
I'm a stone down the hill
My act is an outcome of everything else
And everyone all around
merely react to me
The purpose at hand is matter, not sense
Turned to a nihilist
Not a motive in use, humanism I refuse
Newly born determinist
Anything that I do, it has always been due
Don't know what I see, don't know where to be
All I know is that everything that I render
is just one big illusion
Good to know that it's all free from valuation
The cold is the hard is the only regard
Heisenberg got it down to a random decree
So all that you know is a yield of the quark
Turned to a fatalist
Anyone up for bet that the future is set?
A true existentialist
What I am I am not, I'm an ego in a plot
Don't know if you're there, or if I even care
All I know is that everything I want to be
is just one big delusion
Say what you will but we're going down
Say what you will but we're going down
But just this morning, when I chose between the sandwich and the bun
- equal outcome, equal worth
Then how could the subatomic orbits of shuffling strings
reach for the ham and cheese?
Parallel universe where the time can reverse?
And then she came to me
Could I really imply anything to her eye?
Matter in congruence
Or a concious mind examining the find?
- I'm in distress
I've got to string together casuality and freewill to make sense out life
- That's what you did right now, the cause was your working mind
You mentioned it earlier, it's our nature to think like the stone is to sink
- Oh my god, you're right
Though I'll fail my degree if I claim that I am free
I will do, and if I don't I will still be the master of me
So let's go out tonight
If there is no tomorrow our teacher was right
And thus we might as well
skip our class in the morning, and blame the quantum might
