Song Description
"Galileo" tears at the facade of a government that rules by lies and trickery. Whether the front is in Iraq or stem cell research, the Bush government hides reality, dissembles on science, and clings to an inflamed religious base to maintain a dubious hold on power. The song delves into what should be taken on faith and what should be questioned with sober scrutiny. If the President tells you the world is flat, would you believe him?

Lyrics
Keep the faith in your numbers
Call it progress, intelligent design
Selective truth misdirection
Your puzzle palace schoolin' in suicide mission
Galileo why lie?
Galileo why lie?
Why lie?
Why lie?
Say the weapons are out there
God is with you on a red state prayer
Nepotism and bagmen
I guess Darwin never ran for president anyway
Galileo why lie?
Galileo why lie?
Galileo why lie?
Why lie?
Why lie?
Do you know when you're right?
Do you know when you're wrong?
You can stake your claim on Christ
You can't take back what you've done
If there's a method in your mind
If there's a method call it science
Is it faith demands this price?
Oh are we your sacrifice?
Galileo why lie?
Galileo why lie?
Galileo why lie?
Galileo save your skin
The world is round
The world is flat
The world is round
The world is flat x4
