about

It's about Galileo

lyrics

Galileo had some big ideas
It put people's faith to the test
Galileo said the Earth went round the sun
So they put him under house arrest

Giordano Bruno had some radical thoughts
But it was too much to take
Giordano Bruno said the Earth was round
So they, they burnt him at the stake

These days they might not burn you
You'll just get ignored
So if you feel like your shouting into the void
You're not alone
Welcome aboard!

Minimise me
minimise me
minimise me
minimise me

Galileo was ahead of his time
But he was done for heresy
Galileo wasn't even the first of his kind
to talk about heliocentricity

Galileo had a telescope
but it was too much too soon
No one wanted to see for themselves
the mountains of the moon

These days they might not burn you
you'll just get ignored
so if you feel like you're shouting into the void
you're not alone
Welcome aboard!

Minimise me...

Galileo lived 400 years ago
you'd think things might have changed
but it Galileo was here right now
we'd still be living in the dark age

Minimise me
