lyrics

"Defying the Deifying"

Some say "time matters not"
Seen through eternal eyes
That seem to defy
Trample the cross
For no god shall we fear
Crown the king with a club
Release the birds of folly
That swirl and soil the robe
The call of nature's
As good as "The Word"
Virtue's a used pair of shoes
Worn through the ages
Smelling of dung
From kicking "The Son"
Loving thy brother
By using a gun
Say grace just like a queer
Dressed in drag's "The Father"
Pop the pope but close the doors
Spit out the spirit
And swallow the corpse

Defying the deifying
Culture needing ewe-thanasia
Standing on the outside
Study of what's human nature
Alien to thoughts de-signed to
Con-form minds through con-firm-at-ion
Societal mold
It grows - though
winds of change shall
Shape the future

Pre-curser to Christianity
They still invent external deity

Ahhahahahaha Owww!!!
You are all forsaken now!
How I love to watch you bow
At defeat you grovel
Like a dog who wants the bed
Learn a trick...how 'bout 'play dead'?
As soothing as a break in wind
To shut your mouth must be a sin"

"Everything in life is peachy
Turn that frown upside down
And paint your face just like a clown!
Walk through life and
Honk your horn
If Jesus makes you say "Yea, men!"
Gangbanged by the twelve apostles
Put yourself in God's hands!

Take your fucking crucifix
And shove it up your ass!
The donkey may not like it
But he'll help to bring in cash
They say the show goes on
Not the actors - only roles
A part to play upon the stage
Like dancers on their poles
Tell a tale of intrigue
Make sure it's not a bore
Include within the plot
At least one dirty whore
Gnashing teeth - embarrassment
And tears for covers blown
Preachers are teachers better left alone
