"Escape from Reason"
by The O.C. Supertones

Album: Loud and Clear
Artist Info: Discography
Song Clip: Real Audio

Down Down Down
That's the way we're traveling
Our social fabric unravels
But who pulled the string
Philosophers politicians or the school teachers
Game of life and death and we're sitting on the bleachers
What happened to our voice
What happened to our influence
Tell me who will listen when all we have to say is
Bumper sticker doctrine and cute catch phrases
Does this amaze us that no one will take us seriously
We talk big but then we sit in atrophy
Apathy they make comedy of our hypocrisy
Unaware of true biblical philosophy
So we gotta watch what we do and what they see
Cause we represent Christ plus Christianity

{Chorus}:
The underground sound here to take your mind higher
I pound the ground Burn it down like fire
We walk the long path, Still on the first half
You escape reason, we escape wrath.

God is not concerned with Gallup Poll opinion
Or if the whole human race were to disagree with Him
Truth is what I spit
But you ain't hearing it
Or you ain't having it
But it don't matter which
'Cause God is still Himself
and He could strike us dead
Even in the pink of health
You don't think I should say that
You say you don't believe that
Our opinion counts for zero,
And that is simply that,
Like I'm Mojo that's how it goes that's just the
way of things,
God is not impressed disagreeing won't change anything,
We all must beg for mercy and surely God will show it
There's a reason for our hope you ask me how I know it
God said it and that without a doubt
"He who comes to me I will in no way cast out"

{Bridge}:
A city under siege who will you believe
champions of truth or of apostasy
you wanna take on me
you take on Elohim
He controls all the that was is and what will be

 

Supertones' comment on the song: The title is taken from a Francis Schaeffer book of the same name. The first verse is directed at the church, the second at the unbelieving world. The church has lost something. Partly the ability to be relevant to our culture. By relevant I don't mean seeming cool. People are searching and we can't guide them. They have questions and not only do we not know the answers but most of us don't know the questions. Why? Because we don't know God's word or how to defend it! Instead of being diligent in our studies and learning how to answer the questions we say "You can't know anything for sure, just have faith." I agree with having faith but it's faith in Christ we need not some kind of blind leap into irrationality. There are those who would like to use reason to destroy God. There's a problem with that. Without God there can be no supreme authority and therefore no absolutes of any kind. No absolute morals, no absolute knowledge and no absolute truth! In trying to escape from God you have instead escaped from reason and into the hands of the very God you were running from.
