You’re a Fool (Prog Rock Suite) (Remastered)

[SMITH, a baritone] Jerry, you owe to science as a philosophical vision More care, more truth, and more precision You owe to your colleagues, to your friends, to us Some thought, some care, some repayment of our trust Give forth the methods, the material, the cell Allow us access, give us the magic spell [VP TEMPTATION, a high tenor] We can’t share, can’t do that We’ve put it all under the patent We must protect the process Tweak it some more, I must confess [SMITH] You’ve broken the Beautiful Law The way in which through the data you claw You're a fool, then let all the world see This idea on religious faith alone did you conceive [SOAMES, a bass] What kind of science discourse is this when names you let fly?
