Our Test Tube Universe Lyrics

A man of science shakes his head He doesn't understand exactly what he has A micro-blip within a quark A little fractal of a limitless expanse A small flicker in the glass Precise instruments measuring more mass He overlooks the misty flask The meter rises to the max, then shatters How do we see a world that's not our own? Maybe a few will get to see it shown How do we let our god know that we're here? Why do we think that our god really cares? He tries to re-create his data He writes equations till he's blue in the face His peers know of his reputation His far-out ideas are not exactly embraced Do we look toward science for the answers? Can we explain everything with some math Every revolution goes by faster Are we prepared to leave our beliefs in the past? How do we see a world that's not our own Only the few will get to see it shown How do we let our god know that we're here What makes us think that our god really cares? How do we know that we are not alone? So much we take for granted is unknown Maybe the smallest specks He sees are stars? Though He created us inside of jars? He doesn't understand his data Commencing quantum trial two hundred twenty-two His test is still derived from beta It's just an echo of his creator How do we see a world that's not our own Only a part of our perception shows How do we know that our god knows we're here? Why do we think that our god really cares? Does He know we're here?
