Say No To Religion

What's the use of history, when we never seem to learn,
When we always seem to do the same mistakes?
Too late for regrets, now, I hate to say it's true
It's far too fucking late to pull the brakes
Seems like you can judge and you can rape and you can kill
As long as you do it in his name

The horror stories haunt you all your life
The Horns, The Tail, The Endless Fire
Forget the cursing, the drinking and the sex
Call me a sinner, I'll call you a liar

Say no to injustice
Try using your head
Don't hide from evil but face it instead
They promise salvation
Then they eat you alive
Say No To Religion and you might survive

The beast is lurking through the shadows once again
The child is peacefully asleep
But the she wakes up, hears him breathing in her ear
He says: "This secret you must keep"
He's got a crucifix hanging 'round his neck
The Reverend pulls down his pants and smiles

Doesn't matter how hard you believe
There's really nothing you can say
Ignore the fact that we have ourselves to blame
You're on your own 'cause your god's turned away

Open your eyes, man, and then you will see
That their franchise is held up by hypocrisy
They'll steal away all the dreams that you've had
Say No To Religion 'cause it drives you mad

God does not support your country or your hockey team
Neither does he send your kids to war
Face the bitter truth and take the blame for once
For fuck's sake you don't even know what you're fighting for
Open your eyes, man, and then you will see
That their franchise is held up by hypocrisy

They'll steal away all the dreams that you've had
They might seem harmless but they'll drive you mad
Say no to injustice, try using your head
Don't hide from evil but face it instead
Don't you be stupid, you heard what I said
Say No To Religion or you'll end up dead
