LYRICS

(Chorus)
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty

Satan
In Milton's "Paradise Lost"
Satan decides that he can
Do without the transcendent
He can do without God
He can do without God
He can do without God
And that's why he foments
Rebellion, rebellion
It's something like that
And the consequence of that was
That as soon as Satan decided
That what he knew was sufficient
And that he could do
Without the transcendent
Which you might think
About as the domain outside
Of what you know, something like that
Immediately, he was in Hell
Things get large and
Then they get too large
And then they collapse
And so in 2008
When the politicians said too big to fail
Too big to fail
They got something truly
Backwards, truly backwards
The statement was reverse
(Jordan speaking backwards)
It should have been so big it had to fail

(Chorus)
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty

When I read "Paradise Lost"
I was studying totalitarianism
And I thought, you know, the poet
The true poet, like a prophet
Is someone who has
Intimations of the future
Has intimations of the future
And maybe that's because the poetic mind
The philosophical or prophetic
Mind is a pattern detector
And there are people who
Can detect the underlying
It's like the melody of a nation
Melody as in song, song
The song of the nation
And can see how it's going to
Develop across the centuries
You see that in Nietzsche
Because Nietzsche, for example
In the, around 1860 or so on
I mean, he prophesied
What was going to happen
In the 20th century
He said that, he said specifically
That the specter of Communism
Would kill millions of
People in the 20th century
It's an amazing prophecy
Some people are very good at
Detecting patterns, you know
And Milton I think was of that sort
I think he had intimations
Of what was coming
As human rationality became
More and more powerful
And technology became
More and more powerful

(Chorus)
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty

And then Milton's warning was
The rational mind that
Generates a production
And then worships it as if it's absolute
Immediately occupies Hell
And that's what I think the story
Of the Tower of Babel was about
It's a warning against
The expansion of a system
Until it encompasses everything
It's a warning against
Totalitarian presumption
And so there's a utopian
Kind of vision there, as well
That's we can build a structure
That's so large and encompassing that
That, that it can replace Heaven itself
And so that the very notion
Of a utopia was anti-human
Because we're not built for static utopia
We're built for a dynamic situation
Where there's demands placed on us
And we're, there's the
Optimal amount of uncertainty

Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty

Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want adventure and
Chaos and uncertainty
