Chained To a Wall of Stone
Arrogant science
Has endangered our children
Vain ignoramuses
Have made us their victims
Was it much too much to ask
To leave the children alone
Now we feast on bread and water
While chained to a wall of stone
Where is the recourse
What is the outcome
The emperor’s fiddling
While burning the kingdom
Was it much too much to ask
To leave the children alone
Now we feast on bread and water
While chained to a wall of stone
Meddling in God’s field
Puts us to pasture
Whole worlds in our image
New potential for failure
Was it much too much to ask
To leave the children alone
Now we feast on bread and water
While chained to a wall of stone
