lyrics

We never knew
That we would have to choose
We've been on top for so long

Look to the skies
Invite our own demise
Naively think we are strong

We don't know
We can't know
We've tied our arms

We try to have it all
But never see the fall
We only see the climb

Using our bag of tricks
Working to get a fix
Soon we will cross the line

With every mystery
We meddle carelessly
We never read the signs

Resort to picking locks
Open Pandora's box
Release our own design

We don't know
We can't know
​We've tied our arms

Could this be the game that we all play?
We try so hard to seize the day
But end up holding on too tight
No movin' on if we think our plight
Is tied to chronic lack of sight

What's wrong with a little bit of change?
There isn't need to be afraid
Of what we cannot understand
We cannot expect, we cannot plan
Knowing nothing at all shouldn't be so bad

Doo

I'll keep my eye on you
My trust you've yet to earn, but I am through
Supplying power to a fear of doom

We don't need it!

I won't underestimate what we can do
Intelligent design is not a ruse
We'll call it "artificial" 'til it's true

We don't need it!
We don't need it!
We don't need it!

(Make it stop)
