Religion II

Stained glass windows keep the cold outside

While the hypocrites hide inside

With the lies of statues in their minds

Where the Christian religion made them blind

Where they hide

And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog

Not for one race, one creed, one world

But for money

Effective

Absurd

This is religion

There’s a liar on the altar

The sermon never falter

This is religion

Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host

Do you read who’s dead in the Irish Post

Do you give away the cash you can’t afford

On bended knees and pray to lord

Fat pig priest

Sanctimonious smiles

He takes the money

You take the lies

This is religion

A liar on the altar

Sermon never falter

This is religion

This is religion and Jesus Christ

This is religion cheaply priced

This is bibles full of libel

This is sin in eternal hymn

This is what they’ve done

This is your religion

The apostles were eleven

Now there’s a sod in Heaven

This is religion

Liar on the altar

The sermon never falter

This is religion

This is religion

This is religion

This is religion

This is religion

This is religion

A liar on the altar

A sermon never falter

This is religion

This is religion

Your religion

And it’s all falling to bits gloriously

This is religion
