TRIVIAL PURSUITS Feb. 21/84 Karl Rigelhof

What is learning but a yearning
To find the inner truth
But everywhere you looked you mistook
A revelation as the proof
That the world will keep on turning

What is logic but a project
In how to make a circle square
Whatever you call it you know it's all shit
Because who really cares
Not the ones locked in their closets

What is education but a degradation
Of the purity of innocence
It doesn't prepare you it only scares you
With a bunch of useless nonsense
But we all have the right to feel that elation

What is confusion but an intrusion
Upon your inner peace
Which way should you go, oh you don't know
It doesn't matter in the least
Your every action is an illusion

What is knowledge but a small edge
With which to cut yourself
The emotion bleeds, a restless hunger feeds
To keep the pursuit of science pure
It will pass the time if nothing else
Mankind still has that disadvantage
No one knows nothing about anything for sure
