Kaptain Kevlar - Uncle Roger Lyrics

The thing that we should have learned
Before we learned one two three
And ABC but somehow was overlooked
This lesson is quite simple
Any experience that we have through our senses
Whether of sounds or of light or of touch

Is a vibration
And the vibration has two aspects one called on and the other called off
Vibration it seems to be propagated in waves
And every wave system has crests and it has troughs

And so life is a system now you see it
These two aspects always go together
For example sound is not pure sound it is a rapid alternation of sound and sound
And that's simply the way things are

Only you must remember that the crest and the trough of a wave are inseparable
Nobody ever sees crests without troughs or troughs without crests
Just as you don't encounter in life people with fronts but no backs
Just as you don't encounter a coin that has a head and no tails

And although the heads and the tails the fronts and the backs the positives and the
Negatives are different they're at the same time one
And one has to get fundamentally to the notion that different things can be inseparable
That what is explicitly two can at the same time be implicitly one

If you forget that therefore we forget you see that black and white are inseparable
And that existence is constituted equivalently by being and non-being
Then we get scared
And we have to play a game called uh-oh black might win

And once we get into the fear that black the negative side might win we are compelled
To play the game but white must win
And from that start all our troubles
And from that start all our troubles

Because you see the human awareness is a very odd mechanism
That is to say we have as a species specialized
In a certain kind of awareness which we call
Conscious attention

Which we call conscious attention

Which we call conscious attention
Which we call conscious attention
