The opening self-titled track from the album of the same name. The song is about how religious fundamentalism threatens our progress: the Enlightenment, global civilization, even the very survival of the human species.

[Verse 1]
I battle with these demons
As I toss and turn at night
A bitter taste in my mouth
And then a blast of blinding light
[Chorus]
I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods
[Verse 2]
600 years of progress lost because of you

I want some flying cars, a ticket to the stars

And while you pave way for your savior

[Chorus]
I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods
I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods
[Bridge]

To never open up your eyes and see the things you lose
Just climb the beanstalk when you die
And meet the giant in the sky
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods
I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods
I see it all laid to waste in a view from the end of the world
Five billion souls incinerated in the doom of the gods
[Outro - Spoken]
— There goes, look at that bitch go
Basoosh!
Did it look good?
— Shweet
