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 something worse
|
I do not serve
|
In fear of such a curse
|
|
Shallow be thy game
|
2000 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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You'll never burn me
|
You'll never burn me
|
I'll be your heretic
|
You can't contain me
|
I am the power free
|
Truth belongs to everybody
|
|
To anyone who's listenin'
|
You're not born into sin
|
The guilt they try and give you
|
Puke it in the nearest bin
|
|
Missionary maddness
|
Sweep up culture w/ a broom
|
Trashing ancient ways
|
Is par for the course
|
It's fucking rude
|
|
To think that you're above
|
The laws of nature is a joke
|
Purple sashes feeding masses
|
Smoke on which to choke
|
|
I might be a monkey
|
When it comes to being holy
|
Fundamental hatred
|
Get down on your knees and
|
|
[Chorus]
|
