Adam Eve A Secular Hymn by The Dowling Poole Lyrics
I'm putting distance between myself and all the morons, so resistant
To any logical inference - their persistence implies they're frightened by the science
And when they don't understand then they're inclined to try and kill - singing
God made Adam and Eve, I'm trying to believe it, it’s there in the bible people
God made Adam and Eve but there was some kind of mix up
They say she had a drinking problem
I know I'm not too bright and some things I won’t understand
But nothing could persuade me faith entitles you to take a life
Probability would say, poverty made you feel that way
With the decades of oppression buying up a ticket to a little bullshit
God made Adam and Eve, I'm trying to believe it, it’s there in the bible people
God made Adam and Eve but there was some kind of mix up
I think she had an allergy to fructose
Stop - You're taking this too far
If this is who you are, you should take another look
From the minds of fools to the pages of a book
It's a simple leap to take if every last mistake will lead you skyward
One things for sure – if there were some higher power it would be way beyond your understanding and rules, not limited by your feeble mind and cruel interpretations
We have to raise the bar
You're close but no cigar for you because you're only gonna set yourself alight with it
When the chips are down and counted, everyone one of us has to face this
Only thing we know for certain, nothing is for certain
And what price for the freedom of speech
If Mohammed is your prophet then you're welcome to him
Same thing whether Jesus, Vishnu, you can keep them all your Kabala and your Voodoo
Judaism, Sufism, your choice not mine, keep it to yourself and we can get along fine
Maybe there's one truth and maybe there's many
I'm sticking to the evidence and none of you can show me any
Absence of proof maybe evidence of absence
Absence of evidence is evidence of absence
Hello - could we try to rub along, would it be so wrong?
You can put your faith in an ancient script from a bygone age
When the world was dumb, dark and disengaged
I'll keep my head held high and my radio on
With the sun in my face while my favourite song goes skyward
Chorus x2
