Why isn't it and when will science become humanity's new religion?
Astronomy, Math, Biology, Physics, Psychology the new scriptures!
Go to 'church' on Sunday and listen to an Astronomer tell us what
we can and cannot see with our naked eyes at night in a starry sky
so we can truly begin to know how small and insignificant we are
which will help us understand why war, hate, cruelty and greed are
such a stupid, sad, pathetic waste of a human beings precious life
You say there's a God but you show no proof
you say your faith's enough yet faith alone is factless
you say I lack faith but I have faith in science
you say your God speaks to you yet I hear only silence
you say there's a heaven but I see only space
you say there's a hell yet I comprehend only magma
you say I'm a heathen but I understand we're both human
you say I'm a wicked sinner as I watch your hypocrisies
you say your Jesus is caring as I witness your selfish greed
you say your God is love as I feel your contemptuous hate
you say all this with a smile but underneath I sense a sneer
I have faith in science
my faith in science is absolute
my faith in science is my truth
I shall never waiver from this faith
I have science facts to back up my truth
Geology: The Earth is billions of years old
Physics: A human being cannot walk on water
Biology: A human being cannot rise from the dead
Astronomy: The Earth is round and revolves around the Sun
Chemistry: A human being cannot be born without both egg and sperm
I have no faith
I am faithless
No true allegiance
Untrustworthy as a
sneaky thief
I have no faith
I am faithless
No promises kept
Infidelity the keeper
of my grief
I have no faith
I am faithless
No real beliefs
Distrustful of all
human schemes
I have no faith
I am faithless
No convictions
Faithful only to
broken dreams
My faith is strong
I believe in my faith, I trust my faith
my faith is real, my faith is the truth
I do not waiver in my faith
my faith is my rock, my faith is my life
I put everything into my faith
My faith will get me through
I will never abandon my faith
nothing can alter my faith, or destroy my faith
I will never deny my faith
I will never accept another faith
my faith is my salvation
My faith is my God
my faith lies in the heavens
my faith's the moon's made of delicious cheese
We are true science men
Who revere intellect
We invite inquiry
Not piety unchecked
We are true science men
Who loathe skulldugery
We revere evidence
Not lame humbugery
We are true science men
Who detest delusions
We applaud verity
Not stone age illusions
We're good science men
we believe in science facts
we have faith science is true
We have abandoned religious faith
we simply see no evidence or proof
we do not accept the God myths
We're following the scientific evidence
we stand by repetitive experimentation
we support logical, hypothetical, theories
There comes a time to face the truth
To see the writing on the wall
The hale and cocksure days of youth
Soon take their final curtain call
There comes a time to let things go
To rest and let all bygones be
The wise and prudent golden years
Must set like suns beyond the sea
I'm way outside man's box, chasing after science!
How many years before this 'tis our new reliance
I'm a sick goner in an antiquated christian prism
stating quite sanely "there's no Jesus in my jism!"
At times I feel so far removed
Apart from every living thing
Stuck in a joyless soulless cage
Of love birds that no longer sing
At times I feel so out of touch
Alone and empty deep inside
Bound to a soaked and heavy load
Of murkiness against the tide
At times I feel so in the loop
Allied by all things true and good
Redeemed by self-discovery
Of tribulations understood
Old age is so sickly sweet and sour
The body going to pot bit by bit
The days of youth long gone to the past
The morphine drip ready with the last hit
Growing older is so tragicomic
The mind singing measures of auld lang syne
The windfall of wisdom comes with graying
The morphine drip aging like fine red wine
In the metered darkness of my nothingness
Where I sure am now yet have never been
I dream about all those glorious young years
Remembering forgetting, morphine drips again
