Newton's Curse
What is this all about?
Are we merely dust from stars?
Some say it's meaningless
To ask the question why
Some say it's obvious
There is a Goddess
In either case, just tell me
Do I control my fate?
Show to me
What is right?
What is real?
Help me know
Is it black and white?
Or is it gray?
Up to me?
Or only up to Fate?
I can't escape
It's destiny
There's no avoiding
There's just one
There's just one life for me
I see it now
It's clear to see, yeah
There's only one road to take
One life at stake
One choice to make
Yeah!
Stripped away
It's all illusion
Left without a sense of autonomy
Nothing left; only illusion
No free will, just automaticity!
Step to the left!
Step to the right!
Do what is next!
All day and night!
Cause and effect!
Black into white!
Do as you're told!
Not what is right!
No sense of autonomy
Automaticity!
All that is, defined by Newton
Billiard balls—physics as destiny
Past is fixed and so's the future
Locked in time, yeah
Free will is fantasy!
Step to the left!
Step to the right!
Do what is next!
All day and night!
Cause and effect!
Black into white!
Do as you're told!
Not what is right!
Yeah!
No way out
Are we merely dust from stars?
Some say it's meaningless
To ask the question why
Some say it's obvious
There is a Goddess
In either case, just tell me
Do I control my fate?
Show to me
What is right?
What is real?
Help me know
Is it black and white?
Or is it gray?
Up to me?
