Political/Religious Song of the Day - BU2B by Rush

I was brought up to believe
The universe has a plan
We are only human
It's not ours to understand

The universe has a plan
All is for the best
Some will be rewarded
And the devil will take the rest

All is for the best
Believe in what we're told
Blind man in the market
Buying what we're sold
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to death

In a world of cut and thrust
I was always taught to trust
In a world where all must fail
Heaven's justice will prevail

The joy and pain that we receive
Each comes with its own cost
The price of what we're winning
Is the same as what we've lost

Until our final breath
The joy and pain that we receive
Must be what we deserve
I was brought up to believe

RUSH - BU2B (Brought Up to Believe)


I just bought the new Rush album in mp3 form on Amazon. Good classic Rush sound and their always thoughtful lyrics on the nature of religion. I don't believe any other reasonably popular band has written as many songs from an atheistic/agnostic point of view as Rush has.
