[Instrumental Intro: Skanking Electric Guitar, Deep Dub Bass, Organ, Piano, Drums, Percussion, Saxophone]
[Intro]
What’s that you say?
(Dubious!)
To all of us?
(Dubious!)
You don’t believe it?
(Nope!)
You need more evidence?
(Asking at the end of your rope)
Well…
Look around!
(Found to abound)
[Verse 1]
Somebody’s standing
With their fingers in their ears
Lack of understanding
(Building on their fears)
Saying:
“It’s all coincidence!”
(For fifty years?)
[Refrain]
Dubious
(To the obvious)
Doubtful
(Of it all)
Suspicious
(Due to cluelessness)
Vanity
(Versus reality)
[Verse 2]
“Maybe it’s the sun”
(Well… some)
“Maybe it’s the clouds”
(Less sum)
[Refrain]
Dubious
(To the obvious)
Doubtful
(Of it all)
Suspicious
(Due to cluelessness)
Vanity
(Versus reality)
[Verse 3]
You move the goalpost
(Again and again)
Ask for more proof
(Back to “Begin.”)
When the proof arrives
(You change the claim)
When the claim falls apart
(… rename the game)
“It’s too complicated!”
(So I’ll just berate it.)
“Models can’t predict!”
(Models aren’t perfect!)
“Scientists disagree!”
(No. Not really.)
“No!”
(“Know!”)
[Bridge]
Is doubt the same
As disbelief?
(No!)
Is uncertainty
The same as nothing?
(No!)
Does not knowing
Everything…
Mean we know
Nothing?
(Know!)
[Break]
[Dub Bass Drops — Organ Chords and Echoing Guitar]
Dubious…
(Dubious…)
To the obvious…
(Obviously)
Dubiously
(Due to cluelessness)
Obvious…
(… to all of us.)
[Drums return]
End of oblivious
[Band Hit]
OBVIOUS!
[Instrumental]
[Extended Dub-Reggae Groove — Echo Guitar, Organ Bubble, Saxophone and Deep Bass]
[Verse 4]
Vanity says:
“I know better”
Reality says:
“You’re getting wetter”
Vanity says:
“Don’t tell me”
Reality says:
“Look and sea”
Vanity says:
“I’m more mighty”
Reality says:
“Meet reality!”
[Refrain]
Dubious
(To the obvious)
Doubtful
(Of it all)
Suspicious
(Due to cluelessness)
Vanity
(Versus reality)
[Bridge 2]
Maybe tomorrow
We’ll know more
(More likely tomorrow the rain will poor)
Maybe the models
Will improve
(Maybe to prove…)
POOF!
The present
(Is the proof!)
[Final Refrain]
Dubious
(To the obvious)
Doubtful
(Of it all)
Suspicious
(Due to cluelessness)
Vanity
(Versus reality)
Dubious!
(Dubious!)
To the obvious!
Doubtful!
(Doubtful!)
But after all…
(reality calls!)
[Outro]
Dubious
(To the obvious)
Doubtful
(Of it all)
Suspicious
(Due to cluelessness)
Vanity
(Versus reality)
