So Much Worse (ft. Jordan Peterson)
t does seem to me that anyone
Who lives in the west
In the western culture
This time in history
And in this place
And who isn't simultaneously grateful for that
Is half blind
At least
Because
[Chorus]
It's never been better than this
And it could be so much worse
It's never been better than this
And it could be so much worse
It's never been better than this
And it could be so much worse
So much worse

Noah 4 - Something To Do With Respect (ft. Jordan Peterson)
And so, Ham makes this desperate error
And is careless about
Exposing himself
To the vulnerability of his father
Something like that
He does it without sufficient respect
And the judgment is that
Not only will he be a slave
But so will all of his descendents
And he's contrasted with the other two sons who
I suppose are willing to give their father
The benefit of the doubt
Something like that
And so when they see him in a compromising position
They handle it with respect
And don't capitalize on it
And maybe that makes them strong
That's what it seems to me
And so I think that's what that story means
[Chorus]

Noah 3 - Retain What's Good (ft. Jordan Peterson)
A slave
That's a very interesting idea
It's particularly germane
I think
To our current cultural situation
We're pushed constantly
To see the nakedness
Of our father, so to speak
Because of the intense criticism
That's directed towards our culture
The patriarchal culture, so to speak
We're constantly exposing its weaknesses
And vulnerabilities and let's say nakedness
There's nothing wrong with criticism
But the thing about criticism is
The purpose of criticism is
To separate the wheat from the chaff
It's not to burn everything to the ground

Noah 2 - Half Insane Creatures (ft. Jordan Peterson)
I remember thinking about this story
It's gotta be 30 years ago
I think the meaning of this story stood out for me
When you read complicated material
Sometimes a piece of it will stand out
It's like it glitters
That might be one way of thinking about it
You're in sync with it
And you can understand what it means
And I think I understood what this part
Of the story of Noah meant
What nakedness meant in the story of Adam and Eve
To know yourself naked
Is to become aware
Of your vulnerability

Noah 1 - Sons of Noah (ft. Jordan Peterson)
The sons of Noah
They went forth of the ark
Where Shem and Ham and Japheth
And Ham is the father of Canaan
These are the three sons of Noah
And of them
The whole earth overspread
And Noah began to be
A husbandman
And he planted a vineyard
And he drank of the wine
And was drunken
And he was uncovered within his tent
And Ham, the father of Canaan
Saw the nakedness of his father
And told his two brethren without
And Shem and Japheth took a garment
And laid it upon both their shoulders
And went backward

Trapping With My Dad (ft. Jordan Peterson)
What were you like when I was 25
Hmm
Well, I was obsessed
When I was 25 or so
I probably weighed about 138 pounds
I smoked, like, a pack of cigarettes a day
I drank
Tremendous amount of alcohol
My friends were heavy drinkers
And most of them dropped out of school
By the time they were 15 or 16
Went off to work on the oil rigs
And it was a rough town
And we drank a lot
And I started when I was 14 and
I had a lot of bad habits
And I wasn't in great shape physically
I was also still intellectually obsessed
As I am now

That's Life (ft. Jordan Peterson)
Very frequently what I'm doing as a therapist is
Helping people have a life that would work
You know, and you can parameterize that
What do you need?
How about some friends?
How about an intimate relationship?
With someone that you can trust
That maybe has a future
That'd be good
How about a career that puts you
In a dominance hierarchy somewhere
So at least you've got some possibility of rising
Some possibility of stabilizing yourself
And a schedule and a routine
Because no one can live without a routine
You just forget that

Utopia (ft. Jordan Peterson)
[Chorus]
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want
Adventure and chaos and uncertainty
Human beings don't want
Utopian comfort and certainty
They want
Adventure and chaos and uncertainty
Satan
In Milton's "Paradise Lost" Satan
Decides that he can do without the transcendent
He can do without God
He can do without God
He can do without God
And that's why he foments rebellion
It's something like that
