Graveyard Whistling Lyrics

All that afterlife
I don't hold with it
All your gods are false
Just get used to it
Let's go out tonight
Kill some stubborn myths
Set those ghosts alight, get into it.

No one's getting younger
Would you like a souvenir?
Let it take you under,
Feel your worries disappear

'Cause if you don't believe, it can't hurt you
And when you let it leave, it can't hurt you
'Cause if you don't believe, then you know
Then you know it can never do you harm
'Cause if you don't believe, it can't hurt you

Ok, I'll admit
I'm not innocent
I did everything and I would again
I'm not listening
I've heard everything
Graveyard whistling
I'm into it

No one's getting younger
Would you like a souvenir?
Let it take you under,
Feel your worries disappear
Pow

'Cause if you don't believe, it can't hurt you
And when you let it leave, it can't hurt you
'Cause if you don't believe, then you know
Then you know it can never do you harm
'Cause if you don't believe, it can't hurt you

Got a picture and a passport and a number
Give me access to the cloud I'm living under
When I go there will I find a sense of wonder?
Open up the gates

'Cause if you don't believe, it can't hurt you
And when you let it leave, it can't hurt you
'Cause if you don't believe, then you know
Then you know it can never do you harm
'Cause if you don't believe, it can't hurt you

Cover art for Graveyard Whistling lyrics by Nothing But Thieves

Sounds like they Christians rolls eyes. Pity, I was liking their sound.

'Not believing' isn't about protecting yourself or 'not being hurt'. It's about dispelling ridiculous unfounded beliefs that have already gone on for centuries too long and have always caused much more harm than good in the world. The world is growing up; it's time to put aside childish things.

@ichimitch1 Conor (the frontman, vocalist) said in an interview that he doesn't believe in religion or in any type of god, so it's safe to say that more than likely that all the members believe the same and this song is actually about their views on it. They did all have a say in the lyrics and what the song was going to be about. I don't know for sure, but it's highly possible.
