Featuring Jack's Rap Jedi Master Gripp's semi-atheistic skeptical wit, this song was written over a number of years. The first verse was written during a mindset of atheistic beliefs, while the final verse is more skeptical of both religion and atheism.
lyrics
I don't know much, but at least I know that
I don't want an answer, that doesn't sit on facts
I would put my faith into physics and in math
Learn them theories, lay em on, Lord ya ready for attack?
Lack of evidence, ain't evidence of lack, yes
But I rebeled against all this prevalence of wackness
Reverence for practices, blind followers like deaf bats and
Numb mole rats, used to think the world was flat, we rolled past it
That's why I asked, Jews and Baptists
Mormans, Hindus, Muslims, Evangelists, and the Catholics
Why they devote their entire lives to a tribal
Denial of so many truths, some might be quite vital
To your survival. in the Bible
They reject the false as if their is a true idol
Evolution can be used to show human religion
As an organizing system for our species in the beginning
Showing power in numbers, if you force obedience
Answer when they wonder and they're asking what the meaning is
But don't be greedy bitch, can't convince the atheists
Cause either they're too rational or just the fucking craziest
Insane in the soul, where the hell is that?
Sorry sold it to the devil and I'd rather have the cash
Atoms and coded semantics, and words of songs
I let you prey, but how I live you think to say is wrong
[Gripp's Performance]
Why do we wonder? How do we stop?
Is religion a salve and if so what's not?
Science is a Religion, not just because it enslaves
Right and wrong, good and bad
Both sides in a cage
I don't really care, compared to some enraged
But at times I am threatened forcefully engaged
Not by my God but a man on stage who get's paid
But maybe God made religion to challenge the brave
Is Everything relative? We keep changing elements
Quarks have sting skeletons, that no one's ever seen?
Gravity, electromagnetism, radiation, and awareness or the soul must be somewhere in between
Energy everywhere in all things penetrates
Devastates, recreates, elates, incarnates
May the Force be with us everyday, everyway
Whether you laugh at that line or take it like a heavy weight
What ever floats you boat, or puts a gator your moat
I want your awareness to feel safe, calm and hope
Sustainable pleasure, if it exists, but who knows
'Cause love hurts as much as deep pain when it's low
I say go, don't mind me I'm inconsistent
I just want us all talking and listen
Sorry 'bout the dissing, constructive criticism
Is it clear that it's unclear from here? I see no difference
