Shallow Be Thy Game

1. I was not created in the likeness of a fraud

Your hell is something scary

I prefer a loving God

We are not the center of this funny universe

And what is worse,

I do not serve in fear of such a curse

2. Shallow be thy game two thousand years,

look in the mirror

You play the game of shame

and tell your people "Live in fear"

A rival to the way you see the bible let him be

I'm a threat to your survival

and your control company

R: You'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah

You can't contain me

I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody

you're not born into sin

The guilt they try and give you,

puke it in the nearest bin

Missionary madness sweep up culture with a broom

Trashing ancient ways is par for the course,

it's fucking rude

4. To think that you're above

the laws of nature, what a joke

Oh, purple sashes feeding masses

smoke on which to choke

Well, I might be a monkey

when it comes to being holy

Fundamental hatred,

get down on your knees and...

R: You'll never burn me...

5. I was not created

in the likeness of a fraud

Your hell is something scary

I prefer a loving God

We are not the center

of this funny universe

And what is worse,

I do not serve in fear of such a...

R: (2x)
