On their long journey that leads them towards the light
Winston Smith shall be their guide
They're trying so hard to believe that two and two always makes five
Two and two makes five

Reason won't concuss the irrevocable truth
And if there's contradiction, keep the faith, burn the proof

To protect ourselves from the superstitions
Of priests and moralists and the trickery of evangelists
Let us be done with the idea of moral law

Or from some self appointed moral cognoscenti
Who disguised their own ideas as universal concepts?

God is dead.
