Don’t Believe in Heaven
Don’t believe in heaven, don’t believe in hell
Do believe in something, what I cannot tell
But wouldn’t it be funny when the atheists awaken
And find there’s not nothing, d’you think they’ll be shaken
Maybe they’re here with us and we just cannot see
Maybe they walk among us ever so silently
Along with the believers who are just as surprised
Didn’t know they’d be in the same boat, didn’t realize
They were both mistaken they were both all wrong
Do you think they’ll argue or will they get along
In a place I know not where, a place I know not when
A place that startles atheists, a place beyond their ken
Won’t the believers be upset when they do find
They passed up such temptation, the most delicious kind
Some experienced tortuous rituals so they’d get to heaven
And then they find that it was as casting seven or eleven
The ones I’d keep my eyes on, ones I’d watch the most
Are lost forlorn atheists who would be shadow ghosts
Or perhaps they’d be airy angels sitting on a cloud
If that be so I know I’ll laugh erratically out loud
Of course this is a cautionary tale for you
Don’t be so serious, don’t ever be blue
Do what you like, do what feels great
For you don’t want to share the atheists’ fate
Or do I mean the believers’ fate?
Whatever
