And did that anthropocentric god wane With their thoughts and beliefs all unseen? (CHORUS) I don’t think so He’s up there with the others lying low           Vying with those who you’ve traded your life to bless your soul. (VERSE) And have they told you how to think Cleansed your mind of sepsis and autonomy? Or have you escaped scrutiny And regaled yourself with depravity? (CHORUS) Now we all see Religion is just synthetic frippery                Unnecessary In our expanding global cultural efficiency. (SOLO - the chords are the same as for the verse) (CHORUS) And don’t you fear this impasse we have built to our future?           Ever so near And oh so austere. (OUTRO) (same as the intro) If you’re having trouble check out the Youtube clips of Greg Graffin playing the song solo. Comments or questions:

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une réflexion sur la présence d'un Dieu anthropocentrique dans l'histoire humaine, en mettant en question l'évolution des croyances et des pensées qui l'entourent. Elle soulève des interrogations sur le conditionnement mental des individus par les institutions religieuses, suggérant que la religion pourrait être une construction artificielle, superflue dans notre monde contemporain. Les paroles suggèrent également une inquiétude face à l’avenir, décrivant une impasse à laquelle nous faisons face, tout en invitant à envisager une autonomie de pensée loin des dogmes traditionnels.
