Thought Destroying Thoughts

Children's preschool cartoon, sing-a-long, Kidz bop, silly cartoon voice

[spoken intro]
Hey kids! Did you know that there are some ways of thinking that don't only make you dumber, but it makes it so that it's impossible to even think at all!

[verse]
You can ask a million questions til your face turns blue
You can be a great big skeptic, you have the freedom to
But pretty soon you have a thought that ends all thought
and in a prison without reason you become caught

[chorus]
The thought-destroying forces of our time
They're maniacal and have a touch of suicide
banging your head against the walls of human thought
your skull just cracked like a flower pot

[verse 2}
You can decide your mind's just a machine
But now the act of thinking doesn't mean a thing
You can pretend it's all just a dream
But there's no reason to think if there's just nothing

[chorus]
The thought-destroying forces of our time
They're maniacal and have a touch of suicide
banging your head against the walls of human thought
your skull just cracked like a flower pot

[verse 3]
evolution says from monkeys we grew
But according to evolution, even that's not true
Just a bunch of stuff morphing endlessly
there's no such thing as anything, not even things

[verse 4}
The nominalism of HG Wells is tried
Everything's unique, categories denied
If you can't connect things, thought has died
Yet another thought commits suicide

[chorus]
The thought-destroying forces of our time
They're maniacal and have a touch of suicide
banging your head against the walls of human thought
your skull just cracked like a flower pot

[bridge]
Progressivism tries to progress without a goal in sight
And with no aim, the very concept commits suicide
Pragmatism tells men not to believe in absolutes
And to his mind's temple he presses a gun and shoots
Free thought is lots and lots of thought
questioning everything until you're not
able to question or explain, 
You took your thought and blew out their brains

[chorus]
The thought-destroying forces of our time
They're maniacal and have a touch of suicide
banging your head against the walls of human thought
your skull just cracked like a flower pot

[Outro, spoken]
Now open your copy of Orthodoxy to Chapter 2 and let's read it together...
