In 2006, Just Jinger changed the spelling of their name to ‘Just Jinjer’, because some people erroneously pronounced Jinger as ‘Jin-ger’ to rhyme with ‘finger’.

Comprised of Ard Matthews (Vocals, Guitar), Brent Harris (Drums, Vocals), Denholm Harding (Bass, Vocals), Just Jinjer is the biggest selling rock group in their home country of South Africa.

In just over a decade they have sold over a quarter million albums, toured with U2, Counting Crows, Live, Goo Goo Dolls, plus dozens of other massive artists.

Their first international release, on Curb Records, is set to hit the airwaves and shelves globally towards the end of 2009. Thus far, on April 7, 2009, Curb released an EP featuring “Can I Have More”, “Home” and “Time of Your Life”. On September 8, 2009, “What He Means” was released as a single by Curb Records. “What He Means” was already a number one single in South Africa in 2006.

Art Matthews and Brent Harris are both known to be big fans of English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and have been known to wear the Spurs tops during gigs.

No God?
Just Jinger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world was meant to live in harmony
Then God said 'let there be man'
Now what we've done is very plain to see
Now man says 'there is no God'

There is no God
But the rain keeps falling down
A new baby cries out loud all the time

But there is no God

Tomorrow might not just be another day
I'm sure we can all see the signs
The price of life is not just a debt to pay
But you keep thinking all the same

All the same, you keep thinking all the same
So the words you say mean nothing to me
They're all the same, you keep thinking all the same
So the words you say mean nothing

There is no God
But the rain keeps falling down
A new baby cries out loud all the time

There is no God, but the rain keeps falling down
A new baby cries out loud all the time
It's all the same

You keep thinking all the same
So the words you say mean nothing to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Just Jinger's song No God express a sense of disillusionment and despair with the state of the world. The opening line suggests that humanity was originally meant to live in harmony with nature, but the introduction of man into the world has disrupted this balance. The next line, "now what we've done is very plain to see," implies that the negative consequences of human actions are obvious, and that we are responsible for the state of the world.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "there is no God," suggesting a rejection of the idea of divine intervention or salvation. This is contrasted with the imagery of the "rain keeps falling down" and the "new baby cries out loud," which imply a continuation of natural processes despite human intervention. This juxtaposition creates a sense of hopelessness, as if the world is continuing and evolving without any regard for our beliefs or actions.

The final verse suggests that the singer has given up hope of changing the world, as the "words you say mean nothing to me." This resignation is perhaps the most depressing aspect of the song, as it implies that even the act of speaking out against injustice or trying to make a difference is ultimately futile.
