[Verse 1]
In 325, the Council devised
A set of sacred testaments, transparent and wise
The truth is only ever relied
On that which we agree and abide
[Chorus]
At the meeting of the minds, reading of the times
Open the blinds to our complicated lives
We all need some kind of creed
To lead us to light
[Verse 2]
In old Tennessee, the last century
All Scopes were fixed on legal tricks and whether or not we
Should teach kids natural philosophy
Despite uncomfortable verity
[Chorus]
At the meeting of the minds, reading of the times
Open the blinds to our complicated lives
We all need some kind of creed
To lead us to light
[Bridge]
There’s a beacon that shines in the night
A dark pitch though it may be
And the halcyon fields of opportunity
Turn out to be consensual and arbitrary
In 325, the Council devised
A set of sacred testaments, transparent and wise
The truth is only ever relied
On that which we agree and abide
[Chorus]
At the meeting of the minds, reading of the times
Open the blinds to our complicated lives
We all need some kind of creed
To lead us to light
[Verse 2]
In old Tennessee, the last century
All Scopes were fixed on legal tricks and whether or not we
Should teach kids natural philosophy
Despite uncomfortable verity
[Chorus]
At the meeting of the minds, reading of the times
Open the blinds to our complicated lives
We all need some kind of creed
To lead us to light
[Bridge]
There’s a beacon that shines in the night
A dark pitch though it may be
And the halcyon fields of opportunity
Turn out to be consensual and arbitrary
