They talk of shadows and of ghosts and death
They talk of things that haven’t happened yet
They sit and listen and they bow their heads
They’re living a life of fear yeah
The story yeah it’s always the same
Full of blood and death and we’re unclean
We need to die, we need to sacrifice
Our lives now for what comes next
Men in robes but where are all the women?
Get them young, indoctrinate the children
Strange rituals, talk of life after death
Hell, I just got here man
Cause if even if we’re in agar plate
A bearded giant looking over us
It’s not a god, not a creator
It’s just another organism
In an infinite universe
Just another creature wondering
“What the hell am I doing here?
I just wanna be somebody!”
Look up at the sun there’s no one looking back at you
I hate to break the news but course it’s true
No second chances when you’re done with this life
So make it your own, start living tonight
Even if there is a God
I didn’t ask to be born
I’m not gonna bow and praise
It’s hard enough trying to make it through the days
Without the prospect of eternal hell
And all the bullshit that they sell
It would be funny if it wasn’t so
God damned powerful
(Men in robes - They know we know)
Look up at the sun there’s no one looking back at you
I hate to break the news but course it’s true
No second chances when you’re done with this life
So make it your own, start living tonight
