I Don't Believe Lyrics

Lyric discussion by liorseker 

Cover art for I Don't Believe lyrics by Paul Simon

this songs (as it title suggests) is about belief, paul says that he does not believe that we all live and die in vain, and that our life does have meaning( don't believe a heart can be filled to the brim Then vanish like mist as though life were a whim). but then he criticizes the major religions, i think he means to say that belief should be a personal thing("I don't believe we were born to be sheep in a flock").

p.s - the advertisment on this page is quite amusing(considering the meaning of the lyrics)
