The Smith Street Band - God Is Dead lyrics

Sobriety's good but so is being high
Society's fine with the passage of time
Try slow it down so I can unwind
Tragedy's comedy if you can get through it
If you can get through it

Perspective's impossible from this position
I don't care either way
Don't make it my decision
I'm not the one with the plan
I'm the one with the vision
Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it
If you can get through it

God is dead and reality is fake
It's a hive mind nightmare of a dying race
And there is no luck and there is no fate
And nobody cares about you or your pain
That becomes freedom if you look
At it that way
That becomes freedom if you look
At it that way

I've always been more distressing than cool
I'm a blood nose on the first day of school
My own quiet life at the bottom of the pool
Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it
If you can get through it

Come a long way from a neck in a noose
Look me in the eye and call that an excuse
I wasn't sure what to make
Tight or keep loose was never a boy scout
So I fell straight through it
I fell straight through it

God is dead and reality is fake
It's a hive mind nightmare of a dying race
And there is no luck and there is no fate
And nobody cares about you or your pain
That becomes freedom if you look
At it that way
That becomes freedom if you look
At it that way yeah, that way

But I wanna be the boy at the bar mitzvah
The child at the christening
The corpse at the funeral
The bride at the wedding
And none of this matters
So we shouldn't just stop
Not with all the perpetual motion
We've got or we had
Who knows? Not like I'm going to shows
I'm pissing in the wind
I don't know which way it blows
Coming straight out of Box Hill like
A bat out of hell
If you're not gonna forget me
Remember me well
