Gregory - Beedoon (Better Off Without It) Lyrics

بدون
Without science; without law
Living by faith alone
We will fall

بدون
Without reason; without love
We are doomed to failure
For there is no god above

There is a causal connection
Between ignorance and your faith
Believing in what we know can never be
By this book you are saved?

If science be the Devil
In the tradition of so many lost gods
Who will cast the first query
And be convicted of a thought crime?

بدون
Without mercy; without shame
Without a god in tow
You alone are to blame

بدون
Without conscience and in Thy name
Jihads and Crusades
Deal death just the same

We tolerated your traditions
The evangelistic haze
We survived the enforcement of your superstitions
Of promulgated hate

Your Bible demands that you stone me to death
Are you really that devout?
You can take it as an act of apostasy
That I revel in the doubt

I light this candle of Reason
Against the darkness of superstition
To rail against the sin of ignorance
Infecting our traditions

We have only just begun to learn!

بدون
Without religion; without faith
But by the light of truth and reason
We shall be saved

Better off without it
This faith in fantasy
Imaginary deities

Better off without it
Bronze Age morality
Zealots with their bombs

Better off without it
Vile, sexist rhetoric
Vengeful jealous gods

Better off without it
Texts promoting slavery
Commandments to kill

Better off without it
Flat Earth philosophy
And wishful dreams of apocalypse
