I Ain't No Christian (Like Bertrand)

I looked for peace and logic. I found Bertrand Russell. Close enough.

Why follow blind faith when we can see, / The logic, the science, the philosophy?

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I walked down the path of righteous men,
But I never found the proof they promised then,
Said faith is the answer, you gotta believe,
But what kind of truth is a web that deceives?

[Chorus]
I ain’t no Christian, ain’t no holy fool,
I keep my questions sharp, keep my thinking cool,
No man in the clouds gonna govern my mind,
In the light of reason, real freedom I find.

[Verse 2]
They say without a book, there’s no morality,
But my heart’s been kind without theology.
I don’t need a heaven, I don’t fear no hell,
For the love of humanity, my spirit will swell.

[Chorus]
I ain’t no Christian, ain’t no savior’s pawn,
Ain’t no miracles needed, I’ll keep pressing on.
A life of free thought is where I belong,
The blues of the soul keep my mind strong.

[Bridge]
Why follow blind faith when we can see,
The logic, the science, the philosophy?
Oh, the universe ain’t got no plan,
Just a cosmic dance, that’s where I stand.

[Outro]
I ain’t no Christian, I ain’t shackled down,
In a world of wonder, I ain’t bound to a crown.
Let the truth roll in like a morning breeze,
In reason’s embrace, I live with ease.
