The Scientists Are Learning

Just like compulsive stamp collectors, we keep adding to our database

The more packages of knowledge we accumulate

The more the world is a safer place

And so we wrap them up in cellophane

And we store them on our kitchen shelves

And then we gather at the ceremony

To congratulate ourselves

The scientists are learning, a little more every day

The scientists are learning, help is on the way

The scientists are learning

Nothing is as it seems, the world within our dreams someday

Could be reality

We realize that we can't know everything, can we know anything at all

It doesn't feel much like empty space, when we run into a brick wall

And everybody knows that it's a round world, it's a round world

That's a notion that we all share

But is it possible that in the twinkling of an eye

We could turn it into a square

The scientists are learning, a little less every day

The scientists are learning, the method and the way

The scientists are learning

Nothing is as it seems, the world within our dreams someday

Could be reality

I was sitting calculating, when I received a telegram

It needed no translating, it said I feel therefore I am

The scientists are learning, a little less every day

The scientists are learning, the method and the way

The scientists are learning

Nothing is as it seems, the world within our dreams someday

Could be reality, could be reality
