lyrics

Mr Dawkins

He's got credentials
He's academically strong
He's fundamental
He's fundamentally wrong

Mr Dawkins when you die
When you wave this world goodbye
Will you ask the question why why why?
Mr Dawkins when you sit
At the bottom of the pit
Will you still claim this is it?

He's a believer
He's a believer in himself
He's an achiever
And he's better than anyone else

Mr Dawkins when you die
When you wave this world goodbye
Will you ask the question why why why?
Mr Dawkins can you aspire
To be elevated higher
Than the burning lake of fire?

He is a winner
He's the champion of the world
He's not a sinner
Sin's a concept for little girls

He is a teacher
He's got the answers in his book
He wants to teach you
And he wants you to take the hook

Mr Dawkins when you die
When you wave this world goodbye
Will you ask the question why why why?
Mr Dawkins when you sit
At the bottom of the pit
Will you still claim this is it?
Oh! Mr Dawkins
