I used to be agnostic, but now I'm not too sure Why are we fighting in this religious war When no one knows truly what we face beyond this life our reality is in our heads its not outside our minds Who Am I to tell you that you've never spoke to god And who are you to tell me that our death is bleak and dark and why do atheists go on telling you that you're wrong If they really didn't care they'd leave the house and just log off Coz I've had it up to here with people telling what to think If you'd really hit rock bottom you'd pray to god before the drink Every mans born equal every woman born the same our corrupt society tells us how we should behave Evolution got it wrong we are not monkeys we are dogs in the caveman days we didn't drop our logs in the bogs we would burn them and drink from them we'd be happy in our caves take any all the materials and its pretty much the same It's so easy to forget we have the freedom of choice turn off all your influences and listen to your voice you're a slave to your TV, your computer and your job Just like i am to......................................................... at least music and sex is what we're here for Attenborough said there's no need for language at all Back in the day people sang before they spoke, do you realize that the bible was written for a joke but I don't think you're aware of the irony of it all it's the writers not the readers that have you all fooled The followers are the ones you've gotta be careful of they think paedophilia is ok if you read the word of god Jesus died for his sins so it's ok to make you hurt as long as you are dressed properly for church they tell you in that situation you're not allowed to swear Pretending when not worshipping very really really care you interpret religious text in any way you want The word of god is under your bed leg to keep it up As I said earlier we all have our own free will we make up our own minds we decide who we can kill we have the power to overthrow kings not the ones in the palace the ones who practice banking who needs millions of pounds and happily ignore the poor they can pay off the judges of the secret court Need their flash car for their identity yet they're the ones who should be locked up for insanity for them all I feel is nothing but apathy underneath the suit and tie lies a soul less tragedy to get by in this life you have to get your degree and make sure you are married by the ripe old age of 30 have 2 kids or if your wife can push out 3 then you start to save for when you're an OAP After all this you wonder why you're still not happy coz you don't do your thinking its your society you'll never have the balls to be what you want to be happiness is not the be all and end all for me its having friends and loving them that makes me want to breath flush the pointless rat race down the lavatory and never trust a politician, labour or tory LIFE WON'T ALWAYS BE A FAIRYTALE STORY.

Know My Name 02:56
Sometimes I'm 6'2 and sometimes I'm 5'7 I Can Make your life Hell, Or I can make it heaven I Can't light a cigarette, but smoke gets in my lungs I can barely raise a fist, but I will torture you for fun I scribble with my left hand and I wrong with my Right I am a pacifist, but there's no one I wouldn't fight I Cry like a crocodile floating in the ocean, I still burn in the shadow wearing factor 50 lotion How Can I Trust you if I can't trust myself? I barely know my name yet I have infinite wealth and how can you trust me know you know my poker face do I know what I'm doing did I fire the gun to start the race I'll keep all your secrets, but I've got more faces than big ben I know all the answers like Lenny from 'Of Mice and Men' I Keep my blockbusters card everywhere I go I have studied 'Fight Club', 'The Usual Suspects' and 'The Truman Show' Maybe I'm a fantasist, an actor or a bastard, but the honest answer is I'm a fruitcake I'll never have the answers I don't deserve an Oscar because I've always been myself A psychiatrist's wet dream whose book is always on the shelf How Can I Trust you if I can't trust myself? I barely know my name yet I have infinite wealth and how can you trust me know you know my poker face do I know what I'm doing did I fire the gun to start the race

Why does one get to a certain age where they think its acceptable to start wearing beige? The clock tick-tocks forwards as it hands shut down the brain the wear and tare of life begins and slowly numbs the pain an insignificant atom within a cluster of dust The bike was bought in the shed gathering the rust 9-5 the only thing keeping you alive now you've served your life sentence all you can do is cry You don't buy books to read for when you're debilitated there's thinking for the future then there is manipulating the same mistake i can guarantee will not be maid how ever it wont skip a generation the beds already maid a maid is something ill never be and no body is changing my bed pan ive got no future aspirations for future dibilitations 7 Seconds said it best "I'm Gonna Stay Young Until I Die" I won't free up my diary and calculate when i'm saying my goodbyes even the best of us are completely irrelevant not even a nit within a hair strand of an elephant We are Atoms within atoms within atoms within atoms A tomb is the end product with eternity in the ground you have to live your life in HD with surround sound Todays programme finished on an old black and white TV with that weird girl and puppet staring back at me the calling card says its the beginning of the end i have the business card of a close family friend funeral director and star of your own sitcom enjoy retirement because i have a feeling its gonna be long longer than you cared and wanted to be around the worms will feast upon you within your destination you are bound thaats why im living by Hilda's Philosophy, showing my grandkids i can touch the floor without bending my knees, proudly at 93. RIP
