Fast Car (Acoustic Version)


   (Lyrics)

As you approach the end of life

Do you have any fear of some kind of afterlife

Or do you feel that is just a price we have to pay

No, no, I think that is nonsense

There is no afterlife

Let's dance

Let's make it together

This is our time

Let's enjoy it together

Let's dance

Are we perhaps the ordinary person

Perhaps isn't strong enough to find his own personal ethic

They have to have something imposed upon them from outside

Let's make it together

This is our time

This is our time

I was thinking of those people who

Find that some kind of religious code

Help them to live their lives

Gives them a very restricted set of rules

The rights and the wrongs

Let's make it together

And make all our time together

Do you have any fear of something that

Is common among atheists and agnostics

Or who have been atheists or agnostics

All their lives who have converted just

Before they died to a form of religion

Do you think that gave you an extra straight in your life?

I don't know

I just engaged in the pursuit of knowledge
