In the human equation
As everyone knows
We cannot be replaced by
Clever codes of ones and zeroes

Are we missing the data?
Are we out of our minds?
Does the world we created
Correspond to any design?

All seven billion of us
Ought to set aside a certain day
To get familiar with a
better kind of common knowledge

From the time of the cavemen
The evidence shows
Information behaves like waves
That grow as long as they flow

In a civilization
We pay what we owe
And we stick to our stations
Till the whole thing finally blows

And it’s over
All our heads
Hangin over
Al our heads

Common knowledge
