Turns Out

[Verse 1]
Who started the fire in the warehouse?
Turns out it wasn't demons
Who started the final solution?
Turns out it wasn't demons
Who started the shootings in our schoolyards?
Turns out it wasn't demons
How can we possibly all get along?
Look at the things we believe in

[Chorus]
There is no heaven or hell, so take your life and define it
Not by words taken from someone else
But by your own words tailored to fight it
'Cause free will ain't what they want it to be
'Cause what they want it to be is a tool
So next time someone passes lies for a speech
Make sure you've got some skeptic in you

[Verse 2]
Who started hospitals and charity?
Turns out it wasn't angels
Who created medicine and chemistry?
Turns out it wasn't angels
Who started scientific discovery?
Sure as hell wasn't angles
Tell me the stories you devoutly believe
I'm not convinced by your fable

[Chorus]
There is no heaven or hell, so take your life and define it
Not by words taken from someone else
But by your own words tailored to fight it
'Cause free will ain't what they want it to be
'Cause what they want it to be is a tool
So next time someone passes lies for a speech
Make sure you've got some skeptic in you

[Bridge]
The human race can be a wonderful thing
But our religions say we're damned little things
Guilty from birth for all the terrible things
That were done
Before we've even lived a day we're condemned
To an existence full of making amends
For awful deeds committed by other men
Well I'm done
With you
And your convenient message of thought conviction
I'm done with you
And your fairy tale

[Chorus]
There is no heaven or hell, so take your life and define it
Not by words taken from someone else
But by your own words tailored to fight it
'Cause free wil ain't what they want it to be
'Cause what they want it to be is a tool
So next time someone passes lies for a speech
Make sure you've got some skeptic in you
