lyrics

you don't have to take it literally
you just have to distill the message
you don't have to believe in miracles and stuff
we know better now, in these enlightened times
you don't to listen to ancient voices
we will make it sound like the Spirit of this age
the message of the master is much more serious
the message of the master is much more real
go out and hug a peasant
go out and hug a peasant

It's not about an interventionist God
it's just seventeen layers of symbolism
it's not something that confronts this world
nothing is wrong in these enlightened times
we don't need salvation or redemption
we will build our own brave new world
your holy teacher is cool and inspiring
but you're taking him the wrong way
you don't have to listen to ancient voices
we will make it sound like the Spirit of this age
the message of the master is much more serious
the message of the master is much more real
go out and hug a peasant
go out and hug a peasant

No no no
no interventionist God
No no no
nothing besides the physical
please

Here I am in an apartment on the seventh floor
the tomatoes that I eat are made in a factory
the microwave is dirty but it's my best friends
I don't know my neigbors I don't know myself
the knowledge I have stored in my head is gathering dust
while I work like a robot in a black'n white room
I'm afraid of the country I'm afraid like the supernatural
but I like thos discussions on internet sites
I don't need to listen to ancient voices
just let it sound like the Spirit of this age
the message of the master is much more serious
the message of the master is much more real
go out and hug a peasant
go out and hug a peasant
