The Atheists
Parody of "The Way it is" by Bruce Hornsby and the Range
(Psalm 14:1-7, 42:3, 42:10, 53:1-6; Romans 1:18-32)

Stranded in lies, mocking Christ
They ignore the telltale signs
Say they can’t find a God
A man with the real truth hurt their pride
So they dragged Him to court on the day He died
They made fun and said, “Where’s your God?”

That’s just the Atheists
Some things will never change
That’s just the Atheists
Ah, but don’t you believe them

Said, hey, little boy, you can’t go tell another soul
‘Cause your old book’s not a-pproved
Said, hey, old man, how you can you stand to chain my faith
Did you really feel so challenged, because I prayed in school?

That’s just the Atheists
Some things will never change
That’s just the Atheists
Ah, but don’t you believe them

Well, they pass their laws and fix the courts
To help those who hate God a little more
And I know they’ve gone too far
But a law don’t change the Word of God
You can punish me with a firing squad, with the lions or another cross

That’s just the Atheists
Some things will never change
That’s just the Atheists
Ah, but don’t you believe them

Romans 1:28
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
