Thank God I’m an Atheist 

[Verse 1] 
It's so sweet 
The way they're seeing me 
It's the worst kind of evil when everybody thinks it's good 
And I know 
That I am the one to blame for this thing 
When they sharpened their knives they would never ever have believed 
I like to play with gasoline 
 
[Chorus] 
Thank God I'm an atheist 
'Cause I don't wanna face my sins 
I don't know, it seems pretty clear to me 
That Heaven is a state of mind 
So thank God I'm an atheist 
'Cause I don't wanna live forevеr and on 
Just die when it's time for it 
Just fall asleep and disappеar 
 
[Verse 2] 
What's running in your mind deep inside? 
People shopping their values 
Whatever's working out right now 
Instead of figuring them out 
 
[Chorus] 
Thank God I'm an atheist 
'Cause I don't wanna face my sins 
I don't know, it seems pretty clear to me 
That Heaven is a state of mind 
So thank God I'm an atheist 
'Cause I don't wanna live forever and on 
Just die when it's time for it 
Just fall asleep and disappear 

[Bridge] 
I don't wanna be alone tonight 
I'm a child full of life 
Am I alone with my thoughts? 
What's the point of it all 
If we only keep living this life to get another one? 
Ooh, hold me tight and look me in the eyes full of life 
Am I really all alone with my thoughts? 
What's the point of it all 
If we only keep living this life to get another one? 
 
[Chorus] 
Thank God I'm an atheist 
'Cause I don't wanna face my sins 
I don't know, it seems pretty clear to me 
That Heaven is a state of mind 
So thank God I'm an atheist 
'Cause I don't wanna live forever and on 
Just die when it's time for it 
Just fall asleep and disappear 

I chose Thank God I’m an Atheist by Olivera because when I first heard the song I was stunned by the voice of the singer. After I had listened to it a couple of times I started to pay attention to the lyrics and became even more amazed. The song has really good points about life and how it can be seen. I don’t know if I agree with everything that Olivera sings about but for example the part: “What’s the point of it all if we only keep living this life to get another one?” is very relatable to me because I have thought about same kind of questions. I also liked the part: “People shopping their values […] instead of figuring them out” because the sentence is well worded and has truth in it. 

The song is touching and sensitive. It handles the big questions that none of us can completely answer. That’s part of the reason of it being so good. In addition to the moving theme this song is very well written, too. I didn't learn any new words but I think that Olivera has succeeded on verbalizing those difficult and confusing thoughts.
