So we all bend down to reason pure and simple

and its reasonable to a ache upon the tail

and like soldiers who are driven on to battle

there are those of us who question not at all



so we all bend down to reason pure and simple

and we file inline as battle general's call

and the pragmatists logistical tactician

leads technocrats to doom without delay



and like astronauts with wings of pure intention

our rocket ships burn fuel of yesterday

while tomorrow is a distance near stagnation

when material growth will eat the world away

when material growth will eat the world away



so we all bend down to reason pure and simple

and its reasonable to ache upon the tail

and like soldiers who are driven on to battle

there are those of us who question not at all

there are those of you who question not at all
