Whenever I’m vexed by the world
Whenever I’m lost in the void
Whenever I need to understand
You are the one I avoid
If ever I question life
If ever I wonder why
If ever I hear that you know the truth
I’ll just pass you by
Cos’ truth from you is a sham
Truth from you is a disgrace
Truth from you is a cop-out
All the answers, in one place
I see why you are loved
I see why you exist
I see why all your followers
Seem to get the gist
They use your name for peace
They use your name for war
They use your name for anything
That they are fighting for
Cos you’re just too damned good, to be true
And you always know just what to do
But I can believe all the answers, are in one place
And your message travels on and on
Through countless cultures, getting it wrong
Throughout time, and soon, throughout space
Whenever believers, talk about God
They mean a powerful companion, who gives the nod
To all their actions, and he loves them just the same
And you can’t blame them, if their feelings are strong
Cos although the idea of God is big, it’s wrong
Can’t tell folk that, when they’re feeling pain
Whenever physics, authors write about God
They mean the ‘nature of the Universe’, and that’s odd
Cos ‘Mr Spooky Action’ is not one of his names
But flogging more books, about nature’s laws
Can come with sales and marketing flaws, so
To popularize the ‘mysterious’ universe, is the game
After all, “scientists only believe in science”
God is perhaps, no worse a superstition
Can’t hide that fact, with a smug redact
That it’s not a belief, just an intuition
