Forgive and Forget

I don’t believe in Heaven I aim to have my fun here on Earth Since the age of ten or eleven, I’ve been questioning everything’s worth How can you resolve the body and the soul, the heart and the mind, the star and the black hole? I don’t believe in Paradise This place is all we get But if I got to do it all twice, I’d happily forgive and forget How can you resolve the idea and the expression, the emergence and the burial, the crime and the confession? Well these are all just words A plague upon philosopher kings The crowd is the noise, the goal-line gets blurred – What solace forgetfulness brings Well memory’s just a word – The balm of the philosopher kings You can crawl back to the herd Or see what the future brings – Let’s see what the future brings Forgive and forget And see what the future brings
