Atheist in Theory

I call myself an atheist

But that shouldn't be allowed

Cause I get down on my hands and knees

When no one is around

I call myself an atheist

I should be disavowed

Cause I pray that there is more to death than a dirt hole in the ground

Oh I'm an atheist in theory

But don't like how it applies

Don't believe in higher beings

But I force myself to try

Cause if the sky is empty

And there's no one there to help

Then we only get one chance to try to live with ourselves

Oh I'm an atheist in theory

Oh I'm an atheist in theory

I call myself an atheist

But I'm so full of it

Cause I get down on my hands and knees

Everytime the bad news hits

And I'm a man of logic

Know it doesn't make much sense

That an omnipotent being would cater to our every wish

Oh I'm an atheist in theory

But don't like how it applies

Don't believe in higher beings

But I force myself to try

Cause if the sky is empty

And there's no one there to help

Then we only get one chance to try to live with ourselves

Oh I'm an atheist in theory

Oh I'm an atheist in theory

I know nothing's predetermined

No one being could be burdened

With that weight

No such thing as fate

We're not beings built for reason

We're accustomed to believing

The inane

So we pray

We're all looking for something to believe in

We're fiending for some hope

Metaphysical dope

This word has come from the throne of god

It's come from the mouth of god

To god be the glory

The end of this is not that people agree with us

Or with the bible

The end is that they are conformed into the image of Christ

Oh I'm an atheist in theory

But don't like how it applies

Don't believe in higher beings

But I force myself to try

Cause if the sky is empty

And there's no one there to help

Then we only get one chance to try to live with ourselves

Oh I'm an atheist in theory

Oh I'm an atheist in theory
