Thank God (I Am An Atheist)

from Into Your Stocking by 4Shadows

/

about

Improvised live at The Vault, Seattle in December 2012. Actually, we are not atheists. We lack that certitude. Agnostic is more like it. Too many people mistake hypocritical adherence to religious dogma for some kind of spirituality.

lyrics

burning red underwater
i'm coming up for air
but i don't know where
i'm diving down...

what's that sound?
underground...
a cave is shaking
in the dark

things without eyes
crawling around
always march in time
up and down

whips
chains
are not the only way

coercion
another commercial
tv gives marching orders

thank god i'm free
thank god i'm free
from superstition
i don't believe in an old man
watching me from his throne
scowling in derision

thank god i'm an atheist
oh yeah
thank the lord jesus
i am an atheist
i don't believe in myself

thank god i am an atheist
i don't believe that's odd
and i want you to try it

the church of an atheist
is the corner bar
and he worships
at all hours

thank god i am an atheist

i write my own scripture
on toilet paper
every time I shit
yes, so thank god
I am a proud atheist
and i'm not superstitious
we all meet the same end

thank you thank you thank you
thanks a lot
thank god!

running
running
running

she said, keep running!
but.. but... but.. but...
what are we running from?

she said, keep running
just keep running
keep running
just keep running

but... what?

she said, don't die
from lack of motion

keep on running

but what are we running from?
