Song: Ignite the Biosphere.

(For Amy, who asked me to. Think Rage Against the Machine.)

(whispered) Ignorance is the only true sin.
(spoken) Ignorance is the only true sin.
(SCREAMED) IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN!

You weren't content to break the laws
You weren't content to be the cause
When everything we'd ever built was burning burning burning down
You weren't content to be the ones
You weren't content with what you'd done
And now you won't admit your guilt we'll burn it burn it burn it down

When all we are is dead
The dead will have to rise and tell the truth
When nothing's left unsaid
We'll set aside our frail and fading youth
And burn it down
We'll burn it down...

IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN (You were you were you were the cause)
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN (You broke you broke you broke the laws)
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN (You think there's nothing left to fear)
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN (Now we'll ignite the biosphere)

Because science is man's way of saying FUCK YOU to the gods
And we're here to tell you no one ever beats the odds forever
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN-and you'll be sinners to the end.
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN-here's where the burning will begin.

You were our teachers, you were wrong,
You called us weak, said you were strong,
When everything we'd ever made was burning burning burning down
You madmen toiling in the dark
Forgot no man controls the spark
And now's your turn to be betrayed we'll burn it burn it burn it down

When all we are is dead
The dead will have to walk Hell's doors are closed
When nothing's left unsaid
We'll set out on the path our parents chose
And burn it down
We'll burn it down...

IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN (You were you were you were all wrong)
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN (You are the weak we are the strong)
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN (You think there's nothing left to fear)
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN (Now we'll ignite the biosphere)

Because science is man's way of saying FUCK YOU to the night
And we're here to tell you no one ever can be right forever
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN-and you are sinners one and all.
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN-stand up and watch the fire fall.

Ignite the biosphere (ignorance is the only true)
Ignite the biosphere (ignorance is the only true)
Ignite the biosphere (ignorance is the only true sin)

IGNITE THE BIOSPHERE!
IGNORANCE IS THE ONLY TRUE SIN!

...and when the fires finally die
When someone comes to ask us why...
Hand off the matches. Shed your skin.
Ignorance is the only true sin.

lyrics, amy
