=== User: Did we think that we'd really find knowledge ===
Did we think that we'd really find knowledge
In the hallowed halls of college
Can we all at least acknowledge that we used to read
The Mystery's not a neatly wrapped package
History flows out with time's passage
The medium's not the message anymore
We're getting low on ideas
When it has to glow to please us
Is it in the book? If you ever find one, tell me.

Books, books, ahh

Governments are spurning them
Libraries are burning them
If we aren't learning then
Why bother preserving them
Every citizen in their lone pod
Worshipping their Own God
Nobody ever thinks it odd that their deity
Looks a lot like them
Hangs around with all the same friends
Yes and from Time without End is happy no one reads

Planet's getting low on fuel
Friends we used to know turn cruel
Walk 10 paces, turn, then duel
Winner keeps the mule
Read the loser's names in next day's news,
No wait there's no such thing as news
So all that we can do is think about Before
Carefully monitor the door
And etch our memoirs on the floor
And wonder what delight waits in store

Books, books, ahh
