lyrics

My name's Jean Paul Saltire, I'm angsty and tight
Like a moderator on The Guardian website
Hell is other people and I should know
This is my father Plato

Hi, I'm Karl Marx, I wrote Das Kapital
This is Engels - he's my pal
We're equally distributing wealth and ideals
Through the medium of burger vans and meals on wheels
We do good deals

Philosophy - it isn't tough
Come and have a go if you're Kierkegaard enough

I'm Socrates, I'm for free will
And a midfield wizard for Brazil
This is a utilitarian and liberal
My son-in-law John Stuart Mill

My name's Zeno, I tore time apart
and this is my sister René Descartes
We thought, therefore we are, so there
We'll speak in Latin cos we don't care
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Philosophy - it isn't tough
Come and have a go if you're Kierkegaard enough
Let's play Pointless - we know our stuff
Everything's a game when you philosophise like us
