Meeting of the Minds

In 325, the Council devised

A set of sacred testaments, transparent and wise

The truth is only ever relied

On that which we agree and abide

At the meeting of the minds

Reading of the times

Open the blinds to our complicated lives

We all need some kind of creed to lead us to light

In old Tennessee, the last century

All scopes were fixed on legal tricks and whether or not we

Should teach kids natural philosophy

Despite uncomfortable verity

At the meeting of the minds

Reading of the times

Open the blinds to our complicated lives

We all need some kind of creed to lead us to light

There's a beacon that shines in the night

A dark pitch though it may be

And the halcyon fields of opportunity

Turn out to be consensual and arbitrary

Today on my ride, I witnessed a guy

Complaining about how a so-and-so had lied

No longer will the market decide

What the government should provide

At the meeting of the minds

Reading of the times

Open the blinds to our complicated lives

We all need some kind of creed to lead us to light
