What If I Told You

[Introduction] Naive person: Listen, I saw it on Natural News. No, no, but listen, it's the GMOs. Illuminati, they everywhere Tombstone: I know, take it easy, calm down. I know it's scarey. I know you're afraid. What I need you to do is just sit down and listen [Verse 1] What if I told you you could distrust the government And still not believe all the bullshit that others coming with What if I told you your suspicious rants are just that And not enough data to consider so they just fall flat What if I told you every claim must have its own merit Biases is baggage that will not make evidence apparent It seems you’re dragging down this conversation with this current Wave of paranoia so it hampers you from ever learning What if I told you you suffered from Dunning-Kruger effect So experts in any given field you won't respect I bet you think that all your debunking is valid But I see nothing with balance just a bunch of word salad Just a ballad of misconstrued notions Overstatements and speculations that rile up your compromised emotions Look I understand the world is scary but is latching on to every conspiracy theory really necessary? [Chorus] What if I told you none of the things you say expose truth It’s quite the opposite homie... they just expose you Your paranoia informs ya... what you think is true Is only the reflection of the fear and you don’t have a clue What if I told you you’re not a truth seeker You calling people dumb, but see you’re not that bright either I think you need a breather 'till you figure this out And really think about it all before you open your mouth [Verse 2] What if I told you our physical senses are not infallible In fact we’re easily fooled, our memories are malleable Subject to be altered by the passage of time And other factors that contribute to us changing our minds And if you think that I’m lying go and study up on neuroscience See why your reliance on eyewitness claims is not guidance So when people say they saw a ghost or UFO Apply a skeptical tone and see how conversations go What if I told you you’re practically unbalanced Opinions are corrupted cause you’re factually challenged What’s worse is that you hardly ever seem to care About the sources of your information when you share They say that I’m not fair... because I scrutinize to brutalize And label every foolish notion just a pack of stupid lies But if you want to hear a "Sorry I apologize," I wouldn't hold my breath cause you'll be waiting for a long time [Chorus x 1] [Outro] Naive Person: So you're saying there's nothing to be afraid of? Tombstone: No, actually that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there are plenty of things to be concerned about, but, listen, you gotta use some critical thinking and fact checking. Stop this running and chasing behind your biases, man. You just afraid of every damn thing. So you looking for something that's gonna reaffirm your fear. Chill with all that [Chorus x 1]
