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 pray 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 the 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
A 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
