- Nine Inch Nails has refered to the non existence of God in a few songs,
- while I don't have lyrics on me I can quote a little from memory.
-
- _Suck_
- There is no God up in the sky, tonight
- No sign of heaven anywhere in sight
- All that was true is left behind
- Once I could see, now I am blind.
- [...]
- The temple walls are made of flesh
- It tears the skin right off of my back
- I'll heal your wounds, I'll set you free
- I'm Jesus Christ on ecstacy.
-
- _Terrible Lie_
- (the lyrics in the cover have 'hey, god' before each line
- although it is not actually sung)
-
- (hey, god) Why are you doing this to me?
- (hey, god) Why am I seething with this animosity?
- (hey, god) I think you owe me a great big apology.
-
- (the song continues in this vein, but I can't remember the lyrics)
