Lyrics
There’s something wrong with this argument,
But I don’t know what it is.
The denial of the conclusion is more plausible
Than the conjunction of the premises.
There must be something here to reject;
Something’s gotta give.
I’m gonna do the G.E. Moore shift.
I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift.
Come on the G.E. Moore shift.
I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift.

I can’t believe you think that that’s true.
How can you accept the consequence of that view?
I can’t believe you think that that’s true.
How can you accept the consequence of that view?

There’s nothing great about validity;
It depends on where you start.
Don’t even try to modus ponens me;
I’m gonna tollens you so hard.
It’s obvious something here ain’t right;
Use a little common sense
And do the G.E. Moore shift.
I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift.
Come on the G.E. Moore shift.
I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift.

I can’t believe you think that that’s true.
How can you accept the consequence of that view?
I can’t believe you think that that’s true.
How can you accept the consequence of that view?

It’s obvious something here ain’t right;
Something’s gotta go.
We’ve gotta do the G.E. Moore shift.
I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift.
Come on the G.E. Moore shift.
I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift.
