[Verse 1]
Tell me a hundred things that I accept as gospel truth
Tell me a hundred things we know are so
Commonly held opinions and the truth that we pursue
We know what we all know

[Verse 2]
Festival seating for the forum on new physics now
Marvelous breakthroughs that create a show
Festival seating for the forum on new physics now
I know I need to go

[Chorus]
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, they'll tell you
But what they're telling you is clearly wrong
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, they'll tell you
But what they're telling you is clearly wrong

[Verse 3]
Back in the day, Professor Jones, so beautiful and wise
Drummed in our head the things we can't deny
Back in the day, Professor Jones would emphasize that point
That truth is truth, she'd sigh

[Chorus]
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, they'll tell you
But what they're telling you is clearly wrong
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, they'll tell you
But what they're telling you is clearly wrong
[Bridge]
Driving to you, there's no space and no time
Driving to you, there's a clear grand design
Faster than light and much faster than fate
Knowing that you're not the kind who will wait

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Skeptical people gather to debunk the not-quite true
All of them keeping evidence at hand
Skeptical people still hold on to sacred cows, not new
They need to understand

[Bridge]
Driving to you, there's no space and no time
Driving to you, there's a clear grand design
Faster than light and much faster than fate
Knowing that you're not the kind who will wait

[Chorus]
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, they'll tell you
But what they're telling you is clearly wrong
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, they'll tell you
But what they're telling you is clearly wrong
