this week stan has for you, a contemporary view

the invention of the power driven machine and the development
of the scientific method of research has so transformed human life
that the long inherited timeless universe of symbols has collapsed

illogical lama, great scientific elf, they'll not save you now.
no man can return and take himself seriously, society and duties drop away

we down here have no energy outlet capable of our imaginary self images
thus we form our own creations of ourselves
transforming the oppression felt from reality
by becoming reality itself
