letra de unbelievable - allone (usa)

i was raised a roman catholic, but it never sat that well with me
going to parish, as a tyke at sabbath, i, stealthily, dwelt beneath pews
distracted as i yelped and screeched i’d pilfer mom’s purse
for gum and tubes made for toothpaste whose tasty gel i’d eat
i’m traditionally baptized, communion and confirmation
my saint namesake is “peregrine” based on the falcon that’s my favorite
i guess that says it all, i’m more appreciative of nature
than all the faith-based strange ways that appeared primitively pagan
i don’t identify as “atheist”, as that’s belief in itself!
who am i even to tell, if there’s an afterlife heaven or h-ll?
i just believe in myself and encourage people as well
never preach it or sell it, just keep to myself unless there’s need, then i help!

yes, i know i’m hypocritically sharing in this music’s instance
but there are gathering sp-ces for superst-tions
i wonder what friends i’ll lose who listened
just for being skeptical of what seems to me to be untrue religions

i won’t buy bull from a bible
won’t run my core on the koran
won’t tour a torah
won’t tote a totem i’m crucified to
they lie that they’ll immortalize you
do you find that it organized you?
if you ask me what moral code
i prescribe to my kid?
“we don’t get a long time to live
let’s get along, time to live!”

whether monastery, mosque, temple, bindi, turban
mother mary, priests in churches, deacon, clergy
repeatedly rehearsing preaching sermons
it seems we’re all asleep and lured in
while they’re counting sheep they’re herding
if you need an evil lurking, eden serpent
beastly burning demon creature feeding fervent fear within you
plus some jesus/virgin scheme or deity to worship
just to be a decent person, doesn’t that defeat the purpose?
shouldn’t goodness be a predetermined feature?
an intrinsically urgent need to serve the needy people hurting?
random acts of kindness? now that i applaud
but when it comes to chapel -ssignments, i’m finding it odd
kind of appalled you required a lord to ingratiate
a fraudulent lie to be lauded by as you sought a prize
that sort of prying, just to find warmth, to be nice in your heart?!
all this mythical orchestration to gratify what you’ve done
isn’t acting nice as you touch others’ lives satisfying enough?

when behaving like a caveman, ironically caged in
by antiquated fables in ancient texts
(pagan attempts, to solve and explain what escapes him)
no wonder you’ve resolved
to believe we’ve never evolved!
no tailbone or backbone
looking to absolve
abs all marigold as pages of that old biblical tome
at fault, fearing a reaper will seek what you’ve sewn
it peeves me to no end to see these burgeoning “born again”s
evil people that feel the need to atone
barging in, bargaining, fraudulent faith
afraid the havoc they’d wreaked will be shown
to the audience, of saint peter, at golden gates
or the big “g” in the throne, unbelievable!
to go from “on the fence” to “godliness”
to gain favor with “god” now, and say prayers as a cop-out?
i’m privy to the function of religion as structure
societal, and also as a primitive crutch
and coping mechanism with living amongst
infinite wondrous, if indeed frustrating mysteriousness
of which we have a limited understanding
but why not with our wisdom will an empirical clutch
as opposed to traditional hunches for an instant of comfort?
conviction in a derivative and rigid stubborn strictness
despite the relevance of it being none
and an inevitable spiritualist trust and egotistical cover
leads to rifts between cultures that are different to “us”
and thus the spilling of blood
all to defend a misinterpreted message
that initially forbid us to judge!

when you’re having a sour day
do you bow and pray to have the storm cloud of gray
moved out your way? if it changes, you’ll proudly praise
a force for reinforcing your founded faith, and if it doesn’t
you’ll no doubt just say “it’s just a test of our strength!”
“their power can’t be grasped by our brains!”
it seems to me
coincidence and chance in incidences cast
in circ-mstances is attributed
to mysticism and not just randomness or evidence at hand
you don’t think a typical strand or chain of events
from a tangible arrangement has lead
sequentially to affecting your day in the end?
why are we playing pretend?
are you afraid of your death?
are you in need of making amends
for who you’re ashamed to have been?
i don’t deny that possibility of spiritual events
and miracles there-within some biblical texts
but i’m a practical man and in the absence of facts to be had
i accept accountability for my missteps and successes when
i encounter all them!
this isn’t in interest of dissin’ and disrespect
its an attempt to get us to open our minds and hearts to the present
and our lives and arms to pleasant human connections
instead of just relying on a trending divine cathartic ending!
