Track two off Upstairs/Downstairs(2007) You don’t need a four year degree In modern poli-sci To take a look around and figure out It’s all gone awry But to fix it all you’ll probably Need a PhD Along with some elementary Form of telepathy What if Asimov didn’t lose the bet With Scientology? And in its place he laid the base For psycho-history And an unseen group watched over us Well, that’d be fine with me Right now we’ll cross all our fingers And hope it turns out alright And if the 2nd foundation had our backs We’d all sleep a little better tonight Could you imagine bringing generals Down to humbled knees? With only hand-calculated Probabilities? While somewhere farther than our sense Of distance comprehends The mental firepower ties Up all those loose ends Isn’t depressing how a pleasant Utopian dream Is only plausible within a genre Of a time machine? Put it on the back burner Until we wipe the slate clean Right now we’ll pound hand to fist Always looking for a fight And if the 2nd foundation had our backs We’d all sleep a little better tonight
