Yes, most of the miracles we mention can easily be explained away by science, that’s why we say the line “fuck scientists.” Their factual findings sometimes explain away the Earth’s cool mysteries. Part of me wishes they were lying. Part of me doesn’t want to know how they really make crop circles. My imagination wants to believe it’s aliens or somethin’. If people can’t relate to that, then that’s their loss. I mean, seriously, it must truly suck to have no imagination about these things. Us Juggalos have deep imaginations, and an awesome sense of humor.
There’s more in the interview, along the lines of how if things aren’t miracles, then they aren’t amazing, and if you think they aren’t miracles, then you aren’t showing appreciation for them. Which is the gist of the lyrics of the song.
To borrow a little from Andy Dufresne: Do you know how to read, you ignorant fuck?
Ignorance truly is bliss, isn’t it? Stupidity must be heaven. I do not, do not, do not understand the position that understanding something destroys the beauty or wonder of nature. I’ll tell you what blows a scientist’s mind — seeing something cool and then figuring out what’s going on. Scientists don’t ignore “miracles,” we try to understand them, because as wondrous as the sight might be, there’s just so much more going on, if only you’d look under the surface. Calling them miracles is the lazy way out.
ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away.
