lyrics

Occam's razor
says:
do not substitute
the complex for
the simple
when the simple
will just as well do

i like that rule
that makes
sense to me
in the grand philosophical
scheme of things
that I've been constructing
since i knew how to construct things

I've got
dreams and plans
with all these opportunities
near my hands
and all I've gotta do
is just reach out and grab

there is a star
of david
on a tombstone
somewhere
in Ukraine
with my name on it
grandpa studied
the abstract properties
of information and logic
i like that dude
he makes sense to me
in the grand philosophical
scheme of things
that I've been constructed
since i knew how to construct things

i've got
dreams and plans
with all these opportunities
near my hands
and all I've gotta do
is just reach out and grab
them with you
i'll be fine
i'll be cool
and all i've gotta do
is just reach out and grab
them with you
i'll be fine
i'll be good

when you get down
to the core
ain't it all a big bore?
climbing the ladder
what's it all for?
