[Verse 1]

I'm like the Atheist spokesman

That why I come under fire and pressure attacks like Rex Grossman

Yea this game is intense

I been sayin' it since agnostic people been playin' the fence

They keep sayin' it's the same in a sense

That evolution requires faith, that universe just came to exist

First of all, microevolution been proven

In the same way that sound waves let you listen to music

And macroevolution is the system of change

At or above the level of the species inflicted with change

That's microevolution on a grand scale we can't even word

Because our life span's too short to observe

"But carbon dating is flawed!

Its half life is 5730 years, and that supports our cause"

Now that'd be great if we used it to date

But since we don't then I'm gonna question that argument's weight

We use potassium argon to date the globe

Not carbon 12 or carbon 14 not none of those

So before you attack Grey go get ya facts straight

Because in the facts race, your god comes into last place

[Chorus] X 2

Belief in gods, we can fix that (fix that)

Irrational thoughts, we can dispatch (dispatch)

It may be hard but we'll get back (get back)

In the position just to end that (end that)


[Verse 2]

Look

To battle me you need to reason clearly

Now I'm not sayin' fear me

But at least be versed in punctuated equilibrium theory

Grand unified fields, quantum mechanics and dark planets

With logic that's sharper than a blade of d'Artagnan's

To destroy arguments of creationists who can't stand it

Then they try to hit me with the wager

Who? Pascal's wager. Who? Pascal's wager

Now that's a fool's bet

And against the intelligent it's used less

Really? You bet

That ain't nothing new, they use it on kids

But for those who don't know it goes a little like this

"Wouldn't you rather believe in god and be wrong

Than to not believe in god and be wrong?

If you believe in god and you're wrong you've lost nothing

But if you don't believe and you're wrong it's all suffering."

The problem is you can try it on anything

Switch the gods around and apply it to anything

The Flyin' Spaghetti Monster, Zeus, Amun, Ra

Krishna, Odin, Baal and Allah

Which one of 'ems our God?

None of 'em, all false

And blame it on the atheists, it's always our fault

Except it never is

So don't get mad at us

We just showin' ya'll the evidence

[Chorus] X 2

Belief in gods, we can fix that (fix that)

Irrational thoughts, we can dispatch (dispatch)

It may be hard but we'll get back (get back)

In the position just to end that (end that)

Rational Response Squad

I'm gonna make the fundies hate me

They gon' need a new reason to shut down rap

But they won't shut down rap that degrades women though, huh

They won't shut down rap that talks about sellin' crack though, huh

Hypocrites...

It's all good...
