No God Lyrics

I've read every book in the Bible Story
And all it ever brought me was another worry
Don't want God, give me a jury,
See... there's no God to make up my mind--
No God givin me time...
I peered in every window where I saw a cross
But I could never see just what they saw
In that piece of plaster on the wall
See... there's no God to fear--
No God to hear your cries...

I'd pray to anything out there
If only I was given some sign to bear
But while I wait I'm gonna live
See... there's no God to watch over me--
No God for human beings...

When I was small I obeyed his every word
Handed down to me by some thoughtful blur
But now I am as big as he,
See... no God bigger than I--
No God frightening me...

In my image I made he him and I gave him life
So he burned me, the creature has risen and I
Think you can see just what it is that's drivin
Me around round..

We are the church we are good and we've got your
Millions God knows we should

I've read every book in the Bible Story
And all it ever brought me was another worry
Don't want God, give me a jury,
See... there's no God to make up my mind--
No God givin me time...

GREAT SONG! its always spoken to me so strongly! about the frustrations and how idiotic it is to believe everything the bible tells you, to pray to a superficial object/ being, you control your own life, no one is bigger than you!

...... and i've always been wonderin that same thing Whats chanted in the background?

@JesSKA* it's being chanted: "no deuce" or "no duce", "No God" in latin, or hebrew, or I don't remember exactly, but thats it. No god in an ancient language.

Recently read Lexicon Devil:the fast times and short life of Darby Crash and the Germs and it turns out the voices in the background are Pat Delaney and Don Bolles saying "Non Deus" which means "No God" in Latin.

Fans of Darby Crash should check that book out, you can't find out much about him online, and most of it is wrong or inaccurate. Lexicon Devil is told through quotes from Darby Crash himself--first as Jan Paul Beahm, then Bobby Pin, and finally Darby Crash--and the people who knew him. You can't really understand what went into these lyrics unless you know what Darby went through. I knew he was fucked up, but that doesn't even begin to explain it. Darby was a modern-day Hitler--except without the hate... and the ability to rise to power. I still think he would have been the best leader the U.S has ever seen. Fascism could work with the right leader.

One of the greatest atheist anthems of all time, no question.

The voice in the background sounds like "God lose" to me, maybe meaning he lost Darby's faith? I think this song is just about freedom.

Don't do what the bible tells you, do what you want. live for yourself not for a god who more than likely doesn't exist.

When I was small I obeyed his every word Handed down to me by some thoughtful blur But now I am as big as he, See... no God bigger than I-- No God frightening me...

Look up terrorism, then look up christianity, lol. Christianity is based around fear. The main reason I don't believe in God is because I realized how much like an evil dictator he would be. "If you don't listen to me, you'll suffer for eternity. If you're gay, you're going to hell." Darby's basically saying not to let a bully tell you how to live your life, because without your faith that bully doesn't exist, therefore you are greater(bigger) than god.

The only thing I don't get or understand is the last part. Anyone? What does it mean?

We are the church we are good

????we've got your Millions God know we should...????

who got what o sdgfsd- we got the people and we should fight? we stole your millons and should kill you?

is that a common expression?

Anyways, thats the only part of the song that confuses me.
