Atheist Music - Controlled (with lyrics) Tombstone Da Deadman/rationalwarrior

A few days ago, DarkMatter2525 introduced us all to the music of rationalwarrior and ever since this song has been stuck in many a head. It seems to have the ability to appeal to those who generally detest hip-hop/rap. But the lyrics are not easily accessible, and I wanted to see them in front of me - so I have listened and compiled the lyrics here. Enjoy.

Lyrics (Confirmed by rationalwarrior):
[Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen]
I am tired of earth - these people -
I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lies.
The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me
than does its smartest termite.

(Yeah)
Man, I'm really getting tired of all this foolishness and ignorant philosophy. So many come down it's like a massive weight on top of me.
Tired of politicians with duplicitous agendas,
pay our taxes to these bastards while they laugh at the adventure
The preacher got redemption for sale,
but yo instead of something solid all we get is mythological tales
and some shit that not impressive on a logical level
- if you look inside their mind their brain the size of a pebble.
Sing your sermon Mr. Preacher Man you're wasting your breath;
I'm trying to celebrate my life while you're embracing your death.
Your little act is ineffectual, you anti-intellectual,
bashing all the gays and you a closet homosexual.
Just a con artist in the snake-oil biz,
the congregation's going broke just to support how you live.
If god was real he would have put you to death
long before you had the chance to even utter a breath.

You don't even know if you possess a soul
You're only going by the shit that you been told
You think that when you die that there's a city of gold
But that's some bullshit they teach to keep you mind in control
You don't even know if you possess a soul
You're only going by the shit that you been told
You think that when you die that there's a city of gold
But that's some bullshit they teach to keep you mind in control

There's been about a million gods and goddesses but they don't last
Because evidence is logical and put a foot in their ass
And your god is just the latest of a lame idea
That'll wind up on the pile of other gods that we feared
There's too many deceptions and based on perception
that way too many years we be stressing and begging for blessings
Show me your heaven, nobody yet to prove it
Man you got one life to live - you better use or lose it
See I find it kind of funny how the ministers they use the same tactics
politicians use to keep us all going backwards:
Politicians lie to us while grabbing all the taxes,
Ministers sell us dreams collecting all the cash up
The same hustle they just wearing different uniforms
Believe in that? I'd rather pray to pink unicorns
It's hard to navigate by running through this shit-storm
But there's no excuse to act like you were never warned

You don't even know if you possess a soul
You're only going by the shit that you been told
You think that when you die that there's a city of gold
But that's some bullshit they teach to keep you mind in control
You don't even know if you possess a soul
You're only going by the shit that you been told
You think that when you die that there's a city of gold
But that's some bullshit they teach to keep you mind in control

You like that song?
I wrote that for you;
I'm gonna sing it at your funeral

@robertjoe1000 To each their own, but life and the cosmos are amazing! There is so miuch to live for and to enjoy without there being an afterlife.

[robertjoe1000]

@JPO1618 cant i plz just be right? im gona be pretty fucking emo if theres nothing after death

[JPO1618]

@robertjoe1000 What makes it more likely? I can understand that the idea is more calming, but not logical...After we are dead, we - that is, the electrical impulses in our brain cease. It is not like WE are anywhere from eternity.

[robertjoe1000]

@JPO1618 well we either sit in a whole for eternity or were ghosts or something i think its more likely and more calming then just dying yanno...

[JPO1618]

@robertjoe1000 You're "sure"? How?

[JPO1618]

@TheMasterArche Just so you know, almost every sentence in your post seems to be missing a word, making this response difficult. I don't know that I said that I WAS sure of anything absolutely. Evidence can be examined, tests can be done to try to replicate results, there are many ways to be more certain about things.

[robertjoe1000]

@disturbed5fdp yes heaven seems nice i'm sure theres a place after death that is new life not heaven of course :)

[TheMasterArche]

@JPO1618 how can u sure? I can say that: i can doubt anything which u can show me as evidence. So in my way, there isnt possible an evidence for it. U can show something as evidence.. And i can ask Evidence of WHAT? How can u sure of that? =) U cant.. It surely an evidence something.. which different then god. So u can BELIEVE.. U can believe now so =) Which i dont =)
