[Verse 1]

Am D G G/F# Em

If I learned anything from all of these lectures?

C Am G Am Em Em

I think it's my attention span clipped by TV at an early age

C D G G/A G/B C C C/B

Well who heard the radio when you are five years old?

Am D G G/F# Em

I use to watch Speed Racer with that hyper attitude

C C D D

That carried me here to this flourescent enlightenment

[Chorus 1]

G G

I'm not a victim, I'm not a victim

C C/B Am C D D

Oh, I... I... I... I am intelligent, I am intelligent

G G

I'm not a victim, I'm not a victim

C C/B Am C D D

Oh, I... I... I... I am an atheist, I am an atheist

[Verse 2]

Am D G G/F# Em

The idea of divine order is essentially crazy

C Am G Am Em Em

The laws of action and reaction are the closest thing to truth in the universe

C D G G/A G/B C C C/B

So don't try to spray me with your archaic rites of soul

Am D G G/F# Em

Your vision is a biological one, I can dodge the thunderbolts

C C D D

And scratch out an existence on this glorious but simple plane

[Chorus 2]

G G

I'm not a victim, I'm not a victim

C C/B Am C D D

Oh, I... I... I... I am intelligent, I am intelligent

C C/B Am C D D

Oh, I... I... I... I am an atheist, I am an atheist
