Entropy — текст песни (Todd Rundgren)

Consider the riddle that is man

From his perch at the top of darwins ladder

Though the rules he little understands

Plays at life as if it really mattered

When before all our eyes

A parading of lies

And reality splatters



But we have dreams, wonderful dreams

While we live in dreams, terrible dreams

Were only waiting, waiting for



Entropy, mindless entropy

Beseech it not,

For it has no thought of anything

All things are equal to

Entropy, heartless entropy

It knows not love, for it shows no love

For anything, anything



Breathes there a soul so dull

It has not striven to attach some meaning

To the chaos that invades the human skull

At the thought that some force is intervening

And this thought we call god

Keeps us straight as a rod

While all else is careening



But we have dreams, beautiful dreams

But we live in dreams, perverted dreams

While we are waiting

Theres no stopping



Entropy, skulking entropy

That lustless rapist who plants its seed in

Everything, everything, everything



Yes, there is a thing call wisdom

But weve never had it

We are too preoccupied with

How to iron-clad it

There was never a chance

There was never a chance

Let us dance!



What about our fearless leaders?

What about our necks?

What about the church of jesus?

How bout drugs and sex?

What about our precious freedom?

What about free will?

What about our precious freedom?

What about free will?

What about our precious freedom?

Entropy will win!

What about the rule of reason?

Entropy will win!

What about our precious freedom?

What about free will?

What about our precious freedom?

What about free will?

Entropy!

Were all up against it

Entropy

Were all up against it!



Entropy cant take away your freedom

Precious freedom

Theres no freedom

No shelter

No heaven help us!



Entropy crushes everything

Entropy smashes everything

Entropy cleanses everything

Everything!
