Medicine - STRFKR
Composed by:Joshua Hodges
Don't you see we have something here
Which I will call not philosophy
Except in the most ancient sense
Of basic curiosity
Never remember
Your birthday
Or anything you like
Sorry so helpless
So help you
Anyway you'd like
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
The following of them does not depend on believing in anything
In obeying anything or on doing any specific rituals
Although rituals are included for certain purposes
Because it is a purely experimental approach to life
Never remember
Your birthday
Or anything you like
Sorry so helpless
So help you
Anyway you'd like
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
Take your medicine
This is something like a person
Who has defective eyesight and is seeing
Spots and all sorts of illusions
And goes to an ophthalmologist to correct his vision
Buddhism is therefore a corrective of psychic vision
It is to be dis-enthralled by the game of Maya
It is not incidentally
To regard the Maya as something evil
But to regard it as a good thing
Around the British Museum and one day
I came across a shop
That had a notice over the window which said
Philosophical
Now even as a boy I knew something about philosophy
But I could not imagine what philosophical instruments might be
So I went up to the window and there displayed
Were chronometers slide rules scales
And all kinds of what we would now call scientific instruments
Because science used to be called natural philosophy
Because as Aristotle says
The beginning of philosophy is wonder
Philosophy is man's expression of curiosity about everything
His attempt to make sense of the world
Primarily through his intellect
That is to say his faculty for thinking
