There's a sweet little seed that was banned in '37
They pray for God's mercy
Then swear it's hell not heaven
You burn down a sick man's pharmacy
Pump his veins with O.C.'s
Then fire him if his piss ain't clean
It's like any war that they try to sell you
First, they pump you full of fear
And then they promise it's your refuge
And the man who gave this gun a bullet
He left office as a crook
Still we cock it and pull it
You see, it's not about health or safety
If that were the case
Then gin would lead to the penitentiary
It's that they started a war and now they can't stop
If they admit they were wrong
You'll wonder what other skeletons they've got
Like how they teach our youth only man and woman can wed
But if it's such a sacred union
Why does Daddy sneak off to his mistress' bed
They've got a bucket full of crayons and tell you who can and can't color
I'm good enough to be your nanny
But I'm not fit to be a mother
They carry this flag that it's a conscious choice
That's like learning to sing
And being able to manufacture an other's voice
People like me, we get strung up by the wires
We're called filth and abominations
But God and I are cool with each other
They dress hate up in tinsel and say they protect love
But love doesn't need an army
Any more than the ocean needs a sponge
You see, it's all about fear passed down like a broach
They say they speak for Jesus
But I can hear him clearing his throat
You invest all your morals in your grandmother's Bible
But what about the gospels
Your Pope ordered to be burned in the temples
And that silly little law that a priest can't marry
Did you know it was enacted
Just to keep property for the clergy
So now millions have suffered in the name of power and greed
If the taxman made Jesus angry
We are making him seethe
I don't fear God like you do and I'm quite certain He's not threatened
A jealous God is a weak God
And I have faith His love cannot be lessened
I don't go to church cause this is between Him and I
Do you gather 'round you a crowd
When you gaze into the love of your life's eyes
He gave me a brain and He said "There, go and think"
Cause if you follow dead men
They'll only lead you to be extinct
