Brothers and sisters, have you heard the news?
The storm has lifted and there's nothing to lose
So swap your confirmation for your dancing shoes
Because there never was a God
Step out of the darkness and on to the streets
Forget about the fast, let's have a carnival feast
Raise up your lowered head and hear the liberation beat
Because there never was no God
There is no God so clap your hands together
There is no God, no heaven and no hell
There is no God, we're all in this together
There is no God so ring that victory bell
No cowering in the dark before this overbearing priest
No waiting until we die, until we restitute the meek
No blaming all our failings on imaginary beast
Because there never was no God
No fighting over land your distant fathers told you of
No spilling blood for those who never spread a drop of love
No finger pointing justified by phantoms up above
Because there never was a God
There is no God so clap your hands together
There is no God, no heaven and no hell
There is no God, we're all in this together
There is no God so ring that victory bell
I know you're scared of dying, man, and I am too
But pretending it's ain't happening won't see us through
If we accept that there's an end game and we haven't got much time
Then in the here and now we can try and do things right
Our own salvation army and together we believe
In all the wondrous things that mere mortals can achieve
I've known beauty in the stillness of cathedrals in the day
I've sung "Glory Hallelujah", won't you wash my sins away?
But now I'm singing my refrain and this is what I say
I say there never was a God
There is no God, let's get a clap together
There is no God, no heaven and no hell
There is no God, we're all in this together
There is no God so ring that victory bell
