Epistemic Tribe

[Intro] Tribe Tribe Epistemic Tribe [Verse] Eternal Ooooooooooo The concept of beginning didn’t exist Then time began, Big Bang or God’s lips? Church taught me one, school taught the other The science trumps God vibe used in hate to smother [Verse 2] Sonder Ooooooooooo There was a time when Protestants were considered evil Violating the Catholic church’s authority was unfeasible Now these tribes live mostly in peace, despite disagreement Rapture ain’t happened yet, faith not proved, despite many claimants [Verse 3] Predestined Ooooooooooo Consistent with physics, determinism Yet we still face a major schism Faith is hope in what we have not And quantum uncertainty is what we’ve got [Chorus] Tribe, tribe, epistemic tribe Diversity of perspectives inside Created in God’s image, made out of dust Therefore share knowledge, join forces, we must In 1000 years, who’s to say what’ll be believed God does more than we can imagine or perceive [Verse 4] Animals Ooooooooooo Chromosomes X or Y, man & woman God created Evolving complexities, yet internal experiences debated? Abiogenesis, in parallel kinds or not, we agree it happened Poke a hole in the sphere of earth, it might as well be flattened [Verse 5] Ego Ooooooooooo Unchecked narcissism used to disrespect Pride before a fall, that you can’t reject Yet you insist that you know the ultimate truth? Day’s 1000 years, time dilation, humanity’s still in its youth [Verse 6] Punishment Ooooooooooo It comes for you if you refuse to bow Drop your facade, accept your limitations now Jesus trashed the temple in righteous anger Nation’s destruction, Israel’s reward, genocide’s stranger? [Chorus] Tribe, tribe, epistemic tribe Diversity of perspectives inside Created in God’s image, made out of dust Therefore share knowledge, join forces, we must In 1000 years, who’s to say what’ll be believed God does more than we can imagine or perceive [Bridge] Come home to your tribe, or you’ll be dead inside No! Expand my horizons Throughout the ages, all our greatest sages Were all wrong, ask our scions! We do have a tribe, but not the one you’ve defined It’s human, God’s children, beautifully outlined That cognitive dissonance of what seems so absurd Is personal growth, a new perspective to be heard Take some time to question your knowledge thoroughly Maybe we came to our conclusions too early [Chorus] Tribe, tribe, epistemic tribe Diversity of perspectives inside Created in God’s image, made out of dust Therefore share knowledge, join forces, we must In 1000 years, who’s to say what’ll be believed God does more than we can imagine or perceive
