Lyrics Jay Brannan

Jay Brannan

Goddamned

I'm marching to Zion

A camera in my hand

I hear people cryin'

Dyin' for this blood-stained land

The streets of old Jerusalem

Are lined with souvenirs and those buying them

It sounds cold, but I cannot see

How this theme park has shaped history

Cause virgins don't have babies and water, it isn't wine

And there's a holy spirit maybe

But she would never rent a room with walls built by mankind

Mary and Mohammed are screaming through the clouds

For you to lay your goddamned arms down

Rip your bigot roots up from the earth and salt the goddamned ground

Stand in line patiently

To supercharge your rosary

Or stuff your prayers inside this wall

We once had God trapped in this great hall

But we've been cast out from this place

They say a prophet floated from here to outer space

Am I crazy? Maybe it's me

But this all sounds like mythology

Cause virgins don't have babies and water, it isn't wine

And there's a holy spirit maybe

But she would never rent a room with walls built by mankind

Mary and Mohammed are screaming through the clouds

For you to lay your goddamned arms down

Rip your bigot roots up from the earth and salt the goddamned ground

Zeus was afraid of his girlfriend

So he swallowed her in bed

He bore forth Athena

When they cracked open his head

Her brother tried to rape her

Athena got away

And when his seed hit the ground

The grass gave birth that day

Now we all freely admit

This story's clearly bullshit

No one would lay down their life

Or start a war for it

So throw your stones and pray

You'll be rewarded someday

I hope it all goes your way

But something tells me

NO ONE'S COMING TO SAVE YOU

NO ONE'S COMING TO SAVE YOU

NO ONE'S COMING TO SAVE YOU

Save yourselves

From turning earth into hell

NO ONE'S COMING TO SAVE YOU

NO ONE'S COMING TO SAVE YOU

NO ONE'S COMING TO SAVE YOU

NO ONE'S COMING TO SAVE YOU

Mary and Mohammed are screaming through the clouds

For you to lay your goddamned arms down

Rip your bigot roots up from the earth and salt the goddamned ground
