Baba Brinkman - Off That (Rationalist Anthem) lyrics

Welcome to the future Geek Pop Three Better find them a Nice soft place to land ‘Cause they sound high They're comin' down Find them a nice soft place to land right? Pseudo-scientists, pseudo-mystics Pseudo-psychics It's all pseudo I want tomorrow to be better than yesterday That's why I'm all about technology So if you say “slow it down!” I'll say fast forward And if you want the benefits But not the process then you're hypocrites Everybody's wish list is For new toys and tools and better medicines And you can have this wish Just ask the methodological naturalists And if your spouse gets sick Consult professionals never novices Deep down you all know this Jay-Z thanks I had to borrow this To make sure tomorrow is Filled with a bit less moronic sh** Whatever scientists can discover You want that When it's justice and life or d**h You want facts But when you feel threatened by science It's all bad And you can't bring the future back Mysticism and pseudo-science We off that Placebo effects and magic Are off track Religion and superstition We off that ‘Cause you can't bring the future back Tell them fools get off me! Fraud we off that Quacks we off that Homeopathy? Hell yeah, we off that Is you still on that? You should read Bad Science And Trick or Treatment; they're not bad This ain't black vs white; it ain't east vs west It's about the scientific method against myths It's colour-blind justice and double-blind tests So you can't make claims if you lack evidence You say “It suits me best” But you haven't ruled out those placebo effects And it's sadistic To peddle false medicines to poor sick kids And yes it's been tested Prayer doesn't work against illnesses What f**in' d** is you on? Tryin' to use magic wands in Iraq to detect bombs You f**in' punks, people die when you guess wrong That's why we got double-blind tests to detect frauds And same with homeopaths And psychic mediums and other phonies and quacks Whatever scientists can discover You want that When it's justice and life or d**h You want facts But when you feel threatened by science It's all bad And you can't bring the future back Mysticism and pseudo-science We off that Placebo effects and magic Are off track Religion and superstition We off that ‘Cause you can't bring the future back Tell them fools get off me! Fraud we off that Ghosts we off that God we off that Hell yeah, we off that Is you still on that? You should read Dan Dennett And Dawkins; they're not bad I don't give a fidduck abiddout the fiddaith You used to have – you can choose your path And I don't give a f** if you meditate Just don't try to claim you can levitate There's some physical laws you can never break That's why they're called laws, no exceptions made And I don't give a fidduck abiddout the visions You probably had; you're just a copycat And yes, I'm aware this is a copied rap It's like evolution right? We all adapt And I don't give a f** if you hallucinate Just don't try to make any truthful claims Unless you can show us the proof we crave ‘Cause no aliens ever flew my way So now it's time to relax Your mind and learn a couple science facts Whatever scientists can discover You want that When it's justice and life or d**h You want facts But when you feel threatened by science It's all bad And you can't bring the future back Mysticism and pseudo-science We off that Placebo effects and magic Are off track Religion and superstition We off that ‘Cause you can't bring the future back Tell them fools get off me! Spells we off that The occult we off that Astrology? Hell yeah, we off that Is you still on that? But we'll still debunk frauds ‘Cause we still on that Credits
