Bad Religion
Atheist Peace
The Empire Strikes First (2004)

Dm(sus2)   F  C  x 2

D5         E5  F5   G5
Maybe it's too late
For an intellectual debate
      B♭                     F5 C5  F5 C5
But a residue of confusion remains

Changing with the times
And amphetamine tortured minds
Are average the citizen's sources of pain - yea

   F5                 C5
  (Tell me what we're fighting for)
    Dm
  I don't remember anymore
  B♭        F5 C5  Dm
  Only temporary reprieve

          F5!   F5!   C5
  And the world might cease
        Dm
  If we fail to tame the beast
           B♭
  From the faith that you release
            A
  Comes an atheist peace

Dm(sus2)    F  C  x 2  w/ Wo-oh, atheist peace

Political forces ran
Political winds of discontent
And the modern age emerged triumphantly

But now that safety's gone
And it's time to de-evolve
And relive the dark chapters of history

  (Tell me what we're fighting for)
  No progress ever came from war
  Only a false sense of increase

  And the world won't wait
  For the truth upon a plate
  But we're ready now to feast
  On an atheist peace

Dm(sus2)   F  C  w/ A-ah, yea

Dm  F  B♭  A  w/ (Ah ah ah)

        Dm (r)
Atheist peace
