Sadistic Songtext
von Stereolab

I cannot believe what I do not understand
It′s just impossible to believe what I don't understand
Understanding and belief should be connected
Understanding is the prime condition to faith
Those who don′t get it yet believe are hypocrites
Those who do not understand yet say they believe are hypocrites
Anything which is beyond the limits of human reason is
Illusion, illusion, illusion

You have done me no service, you have not helped me
All you did was confuse but not enlighten my mind
Therefore, I owe you not gratitude but hatred
Nature is twice as much as it is virtue
Maybe everything derives from one first cause
In which there is neither reason nor wisdom, nor wisdom


Neither reason nor wisdom
Neither reason nor wisdom
Neither reason nor wisdom
Neither reason nor wisdom
Nor wisdom, nor wisdom, nor wisdom

It is amusing to see to what extravagant length
Man has taken fanaticism and imbecility to
Excesses so unspeakable, unbearable
The catalog of aberrations is invariably fascinating to contemplate
All we need from morality is contained in those words
Make others happy as you yourself would be
And then serve them in the way that you yourself would be served
The sole requirement is a good heart

A good heart, a good heart
A good heart, a good heart
