The "wise" ones like to mock
Us foolish gullible souls
Who take as our life's guide
Some text many years old
They laugh at our cretin ways
When we give our money
To the charlatan who leads us
To them it's just too funny
Instead they feel superior
Because they bow to "science"
And laugh at us sheep
Who blindly give compliance
And if one of us fools should say
The end-of-times is near
They'll put him in the public square
To ridicule, shame, and sneer
But the next day some politician says
That catastrophe is at hand
To save ourselves we must do
Exactly what "science" demands
This priest claims to serve "science"
His decree is for our good
But first we need to give him money
Because "science" says we should
He demeans us if we dare to ask
If his past predictions came true
How dare we question "science"
We're just some backwoods rube
And "science-forbid" if any
Ass-with-credentials dares to question
For he will become the target
Of this priest's next inquisition
He beats his parishioners into submission
Then without irony
Declares the debate over
Because there's unanimity
And us stooges watch and think
As he waves his hands and hectors
That this priest looks a lot like
The smiling despots and dictators
But then again, who are we
But some foolish gullible souls
Who take as our life's guide
Some text many years old
