"Agnostic Apology" lyrics
I am a stout materialist
With abstract terms I can't agree
And so I've made a little list
Of words that don't make sense to me
To fool my reasons I refuse
For honest thinking is my goal
And that is why I rarely use
Vague words like soul
Minced words of hunches
System in a system
When I survey this cosmic scene
The term 'creator' seems absurd
The universe has always been
Creation never has occurred
In terms of matter I am sure
This world of ours can be defined
We don't know
What spirit means
When I survey this cosmic scene
The term 'creator' seems absurd
The universe has always been
Creation never has occurred
But in my lexicon of doubt
It strikes me definitely odd
One word I never dare to flout
One syllable the mountains shout
Three letters that the stars spell out...
(The term 'creator' seems absurd)

Inspired by Robert William Service - Agnostic Apology
