Goodbye Jesus

First Song As An Unbeliever

Recommended Posts

I wrote a couple of worship songs during my religious days. I am not a great song-writer, nor musician and I have little love/knowledge of musical history and such.

 

However, I love making the attempt...and as usual, my best attempts are often by accident. I want this song to be really punk-style, but I've only sung it with my acoustic as yet.

 

I will try to make a YouTube video this weekend.

 

 

"The Nihilist's Anthem"

 

Bm F#m G# E

 

V1

This is a silly song without a point,

 

It's a little bit like life.

 

In that regard, do you think it might,

 

Be better if it had a point?

 

C1 (F#m E)

But what's the point in having a point?

 

What's the point in having a plan?

 

What's the point in taking it serious?

 

When we'll all be dead in a hundred years?

 

V2

Well then this silly song got a little more serious,

 

I really didn't plan on that.

 

I didn't think it would come around to DEATH,

 

Seems it had a point after all.

 

C2

But what's the point in having a point?

 

What's the point in having a plan?

 

What's the point in taking it serious?

 

When we'll all be dead in a thousand years?

 

[bREAK]

 

C3

But what's the point in having a point?

 

What's the point in having a plan?

 

What's the point in taking it serious?

 

[spoken very fast on a hanging F#m chord]

When the Earth will be a fried lump of charcoal unable to support life because the sun will be a red giant and if we have descendants they'll have to live on another planet [deep breath]...in seven billion years!

 

V2.5 [END - Tempo Decreases Through Second Line]

You'd think that I'd be glad I wrote this song,

 

But now I'm just really depressed...fuck...

Play it fast and fun and make it bounce

I can't help but drift to a Danny Elfman as Jack the pumpkin king from The Nightmare Before Christmas style singing voice. Not sure why...
