Lyrics

ACCIDENTAL UNIVERSE

Everywhere you look you see people trying to believe
Trying to make some sense out of the life they live each day
New age puts their faith in crystals, city gangs believe in pistols
And I’m left wondering what I should believe

‘Cause I won’t believe in angry gods who wait to punish me
Still I can’t believe that life is just a curse
So I make believe the life I breathe is good and whole and true
I don’t believe in accidental universe

Living life by accident is easier than time well spent
Asking who you are and what you came here for
You can always be surprised, complain you have an alibi
And never take responsibility

Like whoops it seems my body takes offense at cigarettes
Whoops I don’t have money in my purse
Say whoops there goes another lover walking out on me
Some folks prefer the accidental universe
I don’t believe in accidental universe

Sing hallelujah to the Big Bang
All praise and glory to the standard of fine living
Take off your shoes and go to trembling
Because someone else from Hollywood
Is naked in a magazine … Amen

I’ve met my share of unbelievers proud to be such lofty thinkers
They pretend to rise above the question of belief
But everyone believes in something even if that something’s nothing
Everyone must place their bet and die

It’s no accident that you and I are standing here together
We’ve come a long way to just say “Hi”
Oh my, my, my, oh my, my, my, my
There’s a reason, there’s a reason, there’s a reason
There’s a reason, there’s a reason, there’s a reason
