They say there was this big bang once, but the clergyman doesn't agree, oh no
There was this big bang once, but it don't jive with Adam and Eve
Original sin, idyllic garden
Some talking snake giving apples away
What would that snake say if he could only see us today?
Ha ha ha!

They checked the shrine and the temple but he wasn't there.
They checked the mosque and the chapel; nope, not there.
Since you've been away on holiday,
The natives are all nightmares.

You keep us on a leash we can't conceive but still must adhere to.

The natives are whipping each other over which God they prefer.
I wish he'd do us all a favor and just defer.
Since you've been away on holiday,
We don't know which God is which.
And since you've been away on holiday,
It's getting harder to give a shit.

dear preacher, thanks for making time for me today
hope you don't mind if I hide behind the curtain
it's been fifteen years since my last confession
by your good book's standards, I've sinned like a champion
but that book seems a tad bit out-dated

please forgive me, for questioning divinity
it's an ugly job, but I think I'm up for it
I'm not saying who's right
I'm just saying there's more than one way
to skin a religion
there's more than one way
to explain our existence

I wasted half my life on the thought that I'd live forever! 
I wasn't raised, to seize the day, but to work and worship
'cause "he that liveth and believeth" supposedly never dies

rise up! rise up!
and live a full life!
'cause when it's over, it's done
