# Welcome to Metaphysics

# Welcome to Metaphysics [Verse 1] Welcome to metaphysics, have a look around Any proof of God you think of can be found We've got mountains of arguments, some better, some worse If none of them convince you, you're hardly the first Welcome to philosophy, take the cosmic test Would you like some teleology or Pascal's wager instead? There's no need to panic, just use your big brain Nod your head or roll your eyes, we'll show you more again [Chorus] Could I interest you in everything divine? A little bit of God-talk all of the time Certainty's a fantasy and doubt is sublime Anything and everything might be divine [Verse 2] Be theist, be atheist, be bursting with doubt We've got a million different ways to figure it out Welcome to the cosmos, put your faith aside Here's a fine-tuned constant, here's where logic died We've got Kant and Aquinas and ontology galore And a bunch of complex arguments that you've all heard before "The universe needed a cause!" "No it didn't, you fool!" Cosmological arguments make everyone drool [Bridge] See the world as conscious, see it as a void See your own assumptions carefully deployed Start with mind or matter, choose your starting place Send a prayer to nowhere, stare into space Here's why causality must terminate somewhere Here's why infinite regress is something you should fear Which philosophical proof are you? Take this quirky quiz God sneezed the universe into existence just like this [Chorus] Could I interest you in everything divine? A little bit of God-talk all of the time Certainty's a fantasy and doubt is sublime Anything and everything might be divine [Verse 3] You know it wasn't always this complex Back before we started asking "what comes next?" Before Descartes and Aristotle had their say We just pointed at the sky on a stormy day We set our sights and spent our nights waiting for a sign You philosophical, analytical, you so skeptical Mommy let you read some Nietzsche when you were barely grown And it did all the things philosophy is known to do Now look at you, oh look at you Your mind is blown, your thoughts have flown Higher than before, but certain of even less than when you began [Chorus] Could I interest you in everything divine? A little bit of God-talk all of the time Certainty's a fantasy and doubt is sublime Anything and everything might be divine [Chorus] Could I interest you in everything divine? A little bit of God-talk all of the time Certainty's a fantasy and doubt is sublime Anything and everything might be divine
