Intelligence

Reason

Science

Concrete things

Change the universe

And I hope so

Intelligence

Reason

Science

Transforming the world

And I think for the better

I rather admire

This human quality

To make our own crutches

As long as we need them

The only thing I'm saying is that

Once we can walk, you know, then drop them

And I hope so

Intelligence

Reason

Science

Concrete things

Change the universe

People say that there is no difference

Between today and the past

But of course there is

Of course each generation brings a triumph of rationality

We don't need mysticism to exalt man

Man exalts himself by his achievements

And his power to rationalise

Or excuse me, his power to reason! (Laughs)

His rationalisation has its benefits too

I don't know if we could get along without that either

Once we can walk, you know, then drop them
