The Science of Myth

If you've ever question beliefs that you hold you're not alone
 But you oughtta realize that every religion is a metaphor
 In the case of Christianity and Judaism there exists the belief
 That spiritual matters are enslaved to history
 The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects override the myth
 While other religions use the literal core to build foundations with
 See half the world sees the myth as fact
 And it's seen as a lie by the other half and
 The simple truth is that it's none of that cause
 Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
 Somehow we get by without ever learning
 Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
 Somehow we get by without ever learning
 Science and religion are not mutually exclusive
 In fact for better understanding
 We take the facts of science and apply them
 And if both factors keep evolving
 Then we continue getting information
 But closing off possibilities
 Makes it hard to see the bigger picture
 Consider the case of the woman whose faith helped her make it through
 When she was raped and cut up, left for dead in a trunk, her beliefs held true
 It doesn't matter if it's real or not
 Cause some things are better left without a doubt and
 And if it works and it gets the job done
 Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
 Somehow we get by without ever learning
