lyrics

Well I’ve read Descartes and the Bertrand Russell
One lacked heart and the other, muscle
I’ve read Sam Beckett and Jimmy Joyce
(‘though I must admit that I had no choice)
With all these Irish solutions to Irish problems
It makes me feel like I haven’t got one
So much for sneering at wasted youth
And the search for universal truth
Universal truth!

I’ve performed the rites and the old ablutions
I’ve fished with prayers and I’ve caught confusion
I’ve felt the fervour of my fellow man
It made me want to annex the Sudetenland
And find universal truth!

There is no truth for you, working man
You shut your mouth and take your medicine
How’s that now? Have you had enough?
Well here’s one in the teeth and one in the guts

You bent my will and you forced compliance
Will you steal our cadavers for modern science?
Hey, buy me a drink, maybe get to know me
Before you explore my an-a-to-my
For universal truth!

Get thee behind me thoughts of sin
I need to take my medicine
Life’s hard, it can get kind of rough
When you take one in the teeth and one in the guts

Bring me your old and your decomposing
They’re sure to have stories so true and moving
And - fine with home-truths or truth that’s personal -
I only want stuff that’s universal
Universal truth!

Come out now, come from your doors
I need to hear your engines roar
Unload your mind, unlock your tongue
Or is it too late, and have I been here too long?
