A jolly singalong song...
Is it knowledge that's dangerous or how it is used? A take on the Adam&Eve or Pandora's Box conundrum based on what is apparentley a Dublin saying It wasn't the apple above, it was the pair (pear) below' or 'it wasn't the apple but the pair that ate it'...

Dont blame the apple Just blame the pair
No praise for innocence In the unaware
How you use your knowledge Can elate or a scare
Don't blame the apple Just blame the pair

Uncle Albert had some great ideas
He had this way of seeing a problem clear
So they tested it out to see if he was right
Well the bang they made was rather loud
Sending up that mushroom cloud
But its hardly his fault if they set the world alight
Cousin Tim now was another clever guy
He really had a visionary eye
Now we all keep in touch without a glitch or bump
But the echo chambers a dangerous thing
Social media makes those alarm bells ring
But its not his fault if some troll gives you the hump

Some say ignorance is bliss But I tend to disagree
I think they just take the piss For it would all end dismally
There's so much that we'd all miss If so blinkered we should be
You'd have to be brave To live in a cave
Like a naked chimpanzee
Brother Jesus taught that love should be enough
Peace and understanding, all that hippy stuff
Yet some folks put down others in his name
Thereve been plenty of wars in the name of peace
Having god on your side can release the beast
Still it's hardly fair to give the guy the blame.
