A paradox does lie below (underminded determinism)

   So wait a minute  
   There is a trap in every thought  
   With a chance in it  
   To find another better word
 
   
   
A paradox does lie below      
Since many wise men claimed to know:      
All spoken truth is doomed to fail      
Cause every word works like a veil      
Just hiding what is meant by it      
As soon as we try to decrypt      
      Cause every meaning’s far beyond our wit      
     
And as a consequence of that      
They don’t know what they really said      
Cause every thought they claimed they had      
Can make its thinker really mad      
      Who tries to analyze its sense instead      
Of going on or just ahead      
      Cause every logic is a truth born dead      
     
All logic is a severed head      
So paradoxes are no threat      
Since they can help because they show      
That we can’t say what we do know      
Although we do it all the time      
As long as we don’t fix loose signs      
      Cause we destroy the truth that we define      
     
And truth would be a living thing      
If words could leave their twisted string      
      That dooms all thoughts to keep on wondering
