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
