Lyrics

If anyone can show me one example in the history of the world 
of a single psychic who has been able to prove under reasonable 
experimental conditions that they are able to read minds

And if anyone can show me one example in the history of the 
world of a single astrologer who has been able to prove under 
reasonable experimental conditions that they can predict future 
events by interpreting celestial signs

And if anyone can show me one example in the history of the 
world of a single homeopathic practitioner who has been able to 
prove under reasonable experimental conditions that solutions 
made up of infinitely tiny particles of good stuff dissolved 
repeatedly into relatively huge quantities of water have a 
consistently higher medicinal value than a similarly 
administered placebo

And if anyone can show me one example in the history of the 
world of a single spiritual or religious person who has been 
able to prove either logically or empirically the existence of 
a higher power that has any consciousness or interest 
in the human race or ability to punish or reward humans for 
there moral choices or that there is any reason - other than 
fear - to believe in any version of an afterlife

I will give you my piano
One of my legs
And my wife
