letra de 1st atheist tabernacle choir - spitting image

if you don’t believe in god, clap your hands
if you don’t trust the lord then clap your hands
if you reject the possibility of a deity then clap your hands
and join the atheist tabernacle choir

we’re not gonna cross that jordan river
it don’t even exist, that jordan river
to be honest, it’s an outmoded religious metaphor, that jordan river
we’re the atheist tabernacle choir

sing six feet deep, that’s where i’m goin’
six feet deep, no after-livin’
six feet deep, yup it’s depressin’

we’re not gonna reach the promised land
there’s no such thing as that promised land
it’s a cynical notion dreamed up by priests in collaboration with landed interests in order to subjugate the masses, that promised land
that’s it for the atheist tabernacle choir

sing in a wooden box, that’s where i’m headin’
a wooden box, forever dead in
a wooden box, no resurrectin’
a wooden box, yup it’s depressin’

if you believe in nothing, sing out loud
if you think it’s all cobblers, sing out loud
if you find the whole idea of personal freedom circumscribed by the seemingly arbitrary activities of a supreme being then sing out loud
and join the atheist tabernacle choir
a wooden box
oh, let’s hear it for the
wooden box
oh. yup
choir

if you don’t believe in christmas, stamp your feet
if you don’t believe in santa, stamp your feet
if you feel that a christian festival has been superimposed on an early pagan ritual causing a big increase in the temporal power of the papacy for purely political interests then stamp your feet
then give your presents to the atheist tabernacle choir

in a crematorium, i’ll be burnin’
in a crematorium, done to a-turnin’
in a crematorium, no soul ascendin’
in a crematorium, yup it’s depressin’

we ain’t going to sing no christmas carols
we’ve had enough of them christmas carols
to be frank, they’re quite catchy but inherently rather unsound given the somewhat tenuous nature of the source material, i.e. the historically-unauthenticated texts of the synoptic gospels, them christmas carols
we’d rather sing with the atheist tabernacle choir

in a little urn, that’s where they’ll put me
in a little urn, all dry and sooty
in a little urn, no life unending
in a little urn, yup it’s depressin’
yes folks, we’re the atheist tabernacle choir: the choir that says hey! why do christians have all the best music? why can’t non-believers get to sing gospel and why aren’t existentialists allowed to bang a tambourine? so people, if you’ve got no hope in your heart but a song on your lips, and the only soul you believe in is james brown, come on forward: join us! the one and only atheist tabernacle choir

if you don’t believe in god, clap your hands
if you don’t trust the lord then clap your hands
if you reject the possibility of a deity then clap your hands
and join the church of england
or the atheist tabernacle choir

not hallelujah!
don’t praise the lord!
