Listen to the Trees and Stones and Stars


They don't have neurons. They don't even talk.
Look at them all day. They'll never look back.
They have as much spirit as a cinder block

It’s like trying to argue with a cuckoo clock
Panpsychic delusions; silly little hack
They don't have neurons. They don't even talk.

There’s no Truth Value. You’re a laughingstock.
We live in a world of matter and facts
They have as much spirit as a cinder block

They can't get up and run around the block
They don't even have a digestive tract
They don't have neurons. They don't even talk.

You think the wall is a door? Knock knock knock!
Are you high on mushrooms or just smoking crack?
They have as much spirit as a cinder block

Listen to the universe. Go for a walk
Stop grabbing your ideas off-the-rack

They don't have neurons, but you can hear them talk
And yes, there's a spirit in a cinder block
