From the recording Life, Love, and Philosophy
This song is meant to embody the Objectivist Epistemology which states that there are really two sources for modern philosophical thought: Aristotle and Plato, and their modern counterparts Ayn Rand and Immanuel Kant. These two philosophies have guided the success and failure of humanity from it’s very beginning, whether people realized it or not. For more information, I suggest reading “Philosophy: Who Needs It?”, or “The Objectivist Epistemology”, or even Dr. Leonard Peikoff’s “Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand”.

Insanity ©2022

G Bm C Cm
Insanity grips the world, sends us reeling, to oblivion
G Bm C Cm
Humanity will remain, just a word, for someone's bitter maze
Bm Em C Cm
And in the space of time perhaps they'll see the truth, that life is life and not elusion
G Bm C Cm G
‘Til then insanity will rule the world, king or slave, it’s all the same.
G Bm C Cm
Philosophy is not a game, it’s not divorced, from how we live each day
G Bm C Cm
By choice or not, it will shape, what you do, what you say
Bm Em C Cm
You can deny it all, try to defy it all, believe your life is somehow mystical.
G Bm C Cm G
But soon reality, will demand, will extract, will prevail.
Em Bm C D G
Two sides to this deception, both believe in force and fate.
Em Bm C D
They reject the very nature of our being, replacing joy with fear and pain.
Lead Solo: G Bm C Cm - 2x Bm Em C Cm G Bm C Cm G
G Bm C Cm
Insanity grips the world, a group psychosis, for how they live each day.
G Bm C Cm
Your life is yours, no one else, can find your passion, you must not squander it away.
Bm Em C Cm
If what we see's not real, if we can't learn the truth, some twisted means to what comes after
G Bm C Cm G
I'll take reality, any day, over fate, over force, over fear.
