Текст песни Origin Of Species (MC Frontalot) с переводом

Congregation, settle in your seats

The Reverend Front Aloud is on the mic and about to speak

I’m about to freak you out, make you shiver in the pew

While I’m delivering to you my sermon and divinity ensues

Brought by the one true God. It’s a fact:

Anybody else who ever had a God, their God’s wack

We ain’t got to worry about ‘em; we picked the right horse

You’re in the right house of worship (of course)

And forces are gathering out in the world

To diminish our faith in ways radical and thorough

To discourage us from loving anything that’s immaterial

To tempt our children with ever fruitier cereal

And worst of all, to call us idiots while they do it

My congregation, listen; I’m about to walk you through it

We’re going to take the nation back from the heathens that’s within it

We’re gonna get the most egregious of the atheists imprisoned

Cause a schism while we’re at it, but emerge on top

And once we’ve purified our ranks we won’t stop —

We’ll purify your minds of what’s illegitimately thought

It’s not to be a battle indiscriminately fought

But an orchestrated effort, and I’m gonna need you to commit

Might take a couple generations for this deviltry to quit

Start with the kids — in fact, they get distracted from the Lord —

So I’d like you to write a couple letters to your school board

Do you, do you really believe

That we were nothing but them monkeys swinging up in the trees?

Don’t it seem a little likelier that Adam and Eve

Did a lot of humping, and that was the origin of the species?

And what has this so-called science ever done for us

But trumpeted that when ashes go to ashes & dust to dust

Despite the fuss of living, energy gets conserved

Denying the weight of the soul of a man: this is ill deserved

This is still the curse of Copernicus that we suffer

Secular thought ought not to overflow its buffer

And run roughshod through the minds of you, the population

Heretics such as Dawkins and Sagan overstep their station

To say that what we see and what we believe should be confluent

Look to your Reverend to end apostasy — that’s what I’m doing!

Look to your Holy Book to light the way; that is its purpose

Open it up and you’ll find Eden ‘fore you even scratch the surface

And sure, this should be mirrored in the textbooks verbatim

But I’m not in a position yet to issue ultimatum

So I lay down my scheme: we’ll make it seem as though creation

Isn’t anything we’d like to interject to education

We’ll wrangle up the language: science, data, theorem

The irreducible complexity of the ears we use to hear ‘em

Gnashing teeth and wailing from Kansas to PA

Yes, my flock, I talk of futures not imminent but underway

Already established an Institute for Discovery

Discovered that Darwin is dead with outlook grim for recovery

Schoolmarms will soon say that he burns in a fiery sea

Think how much like paradise that’s gonna be

Do you, do you really believe

That we were nothing but them monkeys swinging up in the trees?

Don’t it seem a little likelier that Adam and Eve

Did a lot of humping, and that was the origin of the species?
