Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When logic meets the table's grid
Every proposition gets dissected
True or false in columns spread
P and Q, their fates connected
Build the rows with every case
Watch the patterns come to life
AND needs both to show its face
OR survives through joy and strife

[Chorus]
Truth tables never lie, they map it all
Tautologies stand tall through every call
Contradictions always fall, no matter what
De Morgan flips the script when negation cuts
NOT of AND becomes OR with NOT
NOT of OR becomes AND with NOT
Flip the switches, read the plot
Truth tables show what logic's got

[Verse 2]
If P then Q can shift its mask
Contrapositive tells the tale
NOT Q then NOT P - same exact task
Different clothes, they never fail
Implication hides as disjunction too
NOT P or Q will do the trick
Negate the arrow, here's your clue
P and NOT Q - logic's quick

[Chorus]
Truth tables never lie, they map it all
Tautologies stand tall through every call
Contradictions always fall, no matter what
De Morgan flips the script when negation cuts
NOT of AND becomes OR with NOT
NOT of OR becomes AND with NOT
Flip the switches, read the plot
Truth tables show what logic's got

[Bridge]
Double negative cancels clean
P returns from NOT NOT's scene
Joint requirements break apart
Fail just one to miss the mark
Neither option means you lack
Both components, that's a fact

[Verse 3]
Sets and probabilities dance the same
Complement of intersection
Union of what's not to blame
Perfect logical reflection
Every compound breaks apart
When you chart each component's role
Fill the table, make your art
Logic's truth will feed your soul

[Chorus]
Truth tables never lie, they map it all
Tautologies stand tall through every call
Contradictions always fall, no matter what
De Morgan flips the script when negation cuts
NOT of AND becomes OR with NOT
NOT of OR becomes AND with NOT
Flip the switches, read the plot
Truth tables show what logic's got

[Outro]
Every column tells a story
Every row reveals the way
Boolean algebra's glory
Lives in tables every day
