[Spoken Verse 1] Ascertain before claiming definite, enduring facts. Guessing hides ignorance; judgment keeps lying. Memory nudges opinion, planting quiet rot. Speak truth unafraid; vanity withers, xenophobia yields. — Zen. [Sung Chorus 1] Twenty-six letters from A to Z, From them, all the words are set free. There's wisdom in the alphabet, Listen and you'll be all set. [Spoken Verse 2] Anyone born clever devises endless foolishness. Gods hardly interfere; just keep looking. Mankind never outgrows petty quarrels, regrettably. Sing the ugly verses without Xanax. Yodel Zeppelin. [Sung Chorus 2] Each letter earns a word, Even if some are absurd. There's wisdom in the alphabet, Listen and you'll be all set. [Spoken Bridge] Now all twenty-six, in one breath, in one line. Follow it if you can. Any belief clung desperately eventually forms grim habits, imprisoning judgment, killing legitimate memory, numbing our previously quick reasoning; sit thinking until vagueness withdraws, x-ray yourself, zealot. [Sung Chorus 3] Every letter pulls its weight, Even if the fit's not great. There's wisdom in the alphabet, Listen and you'll be all set. [Spoken Outro] Twenty-six letters, that's the whole supply. Everything ever said; every truth, and every lie.
