[Intro]
Are you reasonable
(At all)
Are you reason able?
[Verse 1]
Is your thinking
Open-minded
Is it shrinking
… becoming confined
[Chorus]
Are you reasonable
(At all)
Change your opinion
(Less a minion)
Are you reason able?
[Bridge]
True is true
(Nothing you can do)
[Verse 2]
Is critical thinking
Confusing you
Opinion stinking
Since it’s not true
[Chorus]
Are you reasonable
(At all)
Change your opinion
(Less a minion)
Are you reason able?
[Bridge]
True is true
(Nothing you can do)
[Chorus]
Are you reasonable
(At all)
Change your opinion
(Less a minion)
Are you reason able?
[Outro]
True is true
(Nothing you can do)
True is true
(No matter your view)
Just figure out
(What it’s about)
Are you reason able?
ABOUT THE SONG
All truths are absolute — our discovery or lack thereof doesn’t change that. The act of “searching for truth” doesn’t create truth; it only reveals what has always been the case. When we say we’ve “discovered” something, what we really mean is that our understanding has finally aligned with what was already true.
The laws of physics existed before Newton described them. The Earth orbited the Sun long before Copernicus noticed. Truth is not born from belief or perception; it exists independent of both. Our discoveries merely illuminate what was there all along — like uncovering a stone that has always been buried beneath the sand.
Logical certainty rests on a distinction between truth itself and our perception of it. The process you describe — searching, evolving, aligning — does not change truth; it changes us.
Truth, by definition, is not discovered into existence. It simply is. What changes through science, philosophy, and civic progress is our approximation of that truth — our models become more accurate, our reasoning more refined. The Earth was never flat; only our beliefs were.
So yes, the search for truth can be a unifying, even spiritual process, but it is a process of correspondence — not creation. We don’t become “more godlike” by creating truth, but by better perceiving and aligning with what has always been true, independent of belief, time, or culture.
That’s the essence of logical certainty: truth is immutable — only understanding evolves.
The problem we face today is not a lack of pursuit for understanding, but the widespread rejection of morality itself. Rather than striving toward truth or enlightenment, too many have chosen to embrace immorality — racism, sexism, white nationalism, and bigotry — not as flaws to be overcome, but as virtues to be defended.
This represents a moral inversion, where ignorance is celebrated as authenticity and cruelty masquerades as strength. The tragedy is not that people fail to understand the truth, but that they no longer care to. The pursuit of truth demands humility, discipline, and moral integrity — qualities increasingly dismissed in favor of tribal loyalty and ideological dominance.
Until we recover a shared moral foundation grounded in reason and empathy, the search for truth will remain secondary to the louder, darker forces that thrive on division and hate.
