Lyrics

You’re wallowing in causal overdetermination
Paradoxical complications
This is the chaos that you bring
When you say yes to too many things
But I come from the Land of Not
Where you bite the bullet
Or you get shot
And I know what you really need
Parsimony
Parsimony

All of these Fs that you think that you see
Are just some simples arranged F‑ly
You want to view a composite,
Then look at me
’cause I’m one of the few that you’ll ever see

I’m a denier
I’m a denier

You’re sinking in stinking abstract objects
Numbers, natural, real and complex,
Word types, gripes, Joy and Alertness:
Bringing you down with their causal inertness.
But I can help you keep it real:
There’s no need
To accept this deal,
’cause I know what you really want
Parsimony
Parsimony

All of this math that you signed up for
Is a useful fiction and nothing more.
Quantify over the objects, sure,
But you’re fighting a losing semantic war.

I’m a denier
I’m a denier

Give me bare essentials and I am done
I’m rocking Ockham’s Razor in the desert sun
You’ve a heap of troubles, well I’ve got none
My ontology’s gonna be good clean fun

I’m a denier
I’m a denier
