Sartre- Existentialism in Song-Form

Lyrics in description. So, I made this series to help me study for my existentialism exam. I wrote and performed the songs between 24 hours and 2 hours before my exam! Some are more rushed than others. But I hope to educate the world with my songs.
Existence precedes essence
Existence precedes essence!
We are in the world before we are defined
You decide you decide you decide!
Existentialism is the conclusion of atheism
Because God might as well be dead
Kierkegaard tries so hard
Ties himself in knots but ultimately
There is no one to guide
You decide you decide you decide
If you decide God, does it put you at odds?
You are the ultimate authority!
With no God companion
We're abandoned
Feel that angst, it's agony
Because you decide you decide for humanity
And we have no way to choose!
So your instincts, let them ooze!
Freedom is the source of value
That's why
Existentialism is a humanism
There is no human nature
And there is no creator!
So you have to choose!
As long as you do then you cannot lose
The present is all that's real
The past is gone, future not here!
Every now is a new chance to choose
Every now is a new you
That's why
I am what I am not and not what I am
Could be in-itself or for-itself
Freedom or facticity
In bad faith
It's yourself you deceive!
So don't be sad.
Because we're radically free
Well depending on your projects
A Situation not responsible
but your projects or
The gaze of the other
Take your under
Consideration, objectification
So we turn it back on them
Or absorb: (Jean Jenet) Ok, I am a thief!
Existence precedes essence.
