1. Is the universe merely God's wind-up toy?

Did he invent time just so he could play?

Could a pre-destined outcome bring him any joy?

Or does he just like watching night turn to day?

2. Or does God allow random things to happen

Like a gambler at a casino craps game

Never knowing if the next throw will be 12, 5, or 7

But all the time the rules remain the same?

Chorus

I want to live in a world where I'm free

To choose what I think, do, and say!

If I ever find out that I'm just a machine

I'll start acting in a most disturbing way!

3. Maybe the universe is just the product

Not of God but some unthinking force field

I'm still a machine and the universe a wound-up clock

But it might as well not even be real!

[Chorus]

Bridge

If we find out that free will's just an illusion won't we become completely disillusioned

And engage in the most self-serving actions? Won't that be our natural reaction?

[End with chorus]
