(verse)

You tell me God cares

I believe He does not exist

So I lift myself up off my knees

At the sky I shake my fist

You claim He is the source of goodness

While history shows you as a fool

How much better our world would be

If we just followed the Golden Rule

(chorus)

I will be good today

And I will be good tomorrow

I don't need an old book to teach me about

Human love and human sorrow

God can damn me if he wants

After all, I commit the ultimate crime

I insist on proof that the Books are true

And I claim my thoughts as mine

(verse)

There are no winged creatures

Praying for my soul

If there are there's sure a lot of misery

In God's heavenly toll

There are no pitch forked devils

Waiting to pull my soul to Hell

If it be true what an evil mystery

What an unjust story to tell

(chorus)

I will be good today

And I will be good tomorrow

I don't need an old book to teach me

Human love and human sorrow

God can damn me if he wants

After all, I commit the ultimate crime

I demand proof that suffering is love

And I claim my thoughts as mine

(close)

I rest assured that love is pure

I just don't have to be bribed

Santa Claus isn't real either

He died when I was 9.
