Paul Hansen - The Agnostic Lyrics

Stuck without a creed
Even Jonah disagreed

What team do I root for
Which duck do I shoot for
Always standing on the sideline
The things that I ponder
The time that I squander
Answers I never can find

And science not the greatest
And God may be a sadist
Neither helping in my great search
Who gets the blame
They both seem the same
Leaving me in a great lurch

I'm the agnostic
I just don't know
The soils rocky
Nothing will grow
Shrouded in doubt
I won't abide
Till I touch the wound
In your side

There's a God there's no God
There's a Nod there's no Nod
Both terrifying to me
You say that you are certain
Behind the gameshow curtain
Bob Barker's holding the key

I've tried I just can't shake It
Belief I just can't fake it
Like yellow powder mix macaroni
So I'll commence
Sitting on the fence
Bewildered but not a phony

I'm the agnostic
I just don't know
The soils rocky
Nothing will grow
Shrouded in doubt
I won't abide
Till I touch the wound
In your side

The agnostic gets a bad rap
Swallowed in the tree sap
Stuck in a question mark
His faith has flown south
Zealots frothing at the mouth
While he just holds down the middle

Watch the bug eyed sleuth
He has found the truth
And badgers you as he delves
His rhetoric not for you
He won't stop till he's through
Trying to convince himself

I'm the agnostic
I just don't know
The soils rocky
Nothing will grow
Shrouded in doubt
I won't abide
Till I touch the wound
In your side

I'm the agnostic
Wayfarer roam
The road is rocky
Without a home
Double minded
In all my ways
Counting backwards
The endless days

And this my view
That the simplest explanation is
There is no God
No one created the universe and
No one Directs our fate
