I remember sittin’ in the pew, listenin’ to the preacher spew
What you had to do if you wanted to please the dude
That created you in his own image
But the snafu in this façade, was God had his own blemishes
He needed a day to rest, he was a homophobic
He required sacrifices of the bone and flesh
With unquestioning faith, but it’s the questions that separate
The human beings from the petulant apes
So I just looked on, as the baptized were capsized in fat lies
Whoop, gone into the black sky
I saw the metaphysical picture that they were paintin’
From scriptures that they were rapin’ they were rakin’ the cash high
By dispensing fear to docile nation
So many of them were smeared from indoctrination
So steady and cavalier with their proclamations
That any to not adhere were abominations

Chorus

We can deprogram this cultural software
With the cyanide diatribes I prescribe, kickin’ cynicism into hyper drive
Your superstitions are not our cross to bear
Got the heavens down to an algorithm but forgettin’ about the ground, you got clouded vision

Some would label me pretentious
Because I don’t accept as truth these obtrusive fables that men invented
But why is it that I should have to bite my tongue
When these Bible-thumping fanatics fling their righteous dung
In hopes we might succumb to an intelligence decline
To me, that’s an unintelligent design
Cuz if promoting a belief in Jesus is the case
Why you shovin’ pics of an aborted fetus in my face
So depleted is the taste of reason, more concerned over a cluster of cells
Than what it takes to feed them children that were already born
Livin’ in rubbish, growin’ up into what you steady scorn,
Sin and repugnance, oh what an appetite for an afterlife
To try to reformat the universe as black and white
But it’s intention less; pension less, shades of grey
Don’t believe me? Then let your razorblades pave the way (to heaven)

(Chorus)

They tell you that faith is admirable
And you arbitrarily obey
These answers that aren’t answers at all
Butchering all reason, on your knees to please them
I don’t need the threat of hellfire to act altruistically
Fettered are the liars that black out our history
Three billion years of successive mutation
Translated to six days by perplexed indignation
So many sucked in, and devoured by the Deacon’s lust
But with gumption and willpower we can deconstruct
Quizzical, mythical veils, from which truth is hidden
In this physical, pivotal realm, no fruit is forbidden

(Chorus)
