Lyrics

Homer didn't have a comprehensive word for mind
The psyche and the conscious self had not yet been combined
He understood events as repetition of the past
And individual consciousness was not a part of that
But early greek thought played a role in the complicate history
Of the concept of the soul
By the time of plato these ideas had taken shape
The phaedo and timaeus are works which demonstrate
The consious separation of the knower from the known
And the dual nature of the body and the soul
Modern thought was possible:
The complicated history of the concept of the soul
Whoa!
Pythagoras and orphic doctrines all came into play
Because plato was a mystic in his own platonic way
The pre-socratic naturalists saw things in terms of "stuff"
But plato's metaphysics showed that this was not enough
This is the incredible complicated history of the concept of the soul
Rock and roll
