Gospel From a Heathen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm not an atheist
But i'll be an atheist for you
My holy brother,
You turn our temple into a tomb
I am no believer,
But i'll be faithful, i'll be true
Sweet little sister
To protect the seeds in your womb
I gave you my hand
But you handed me a gun.
Man, you taught me like a son.
I believe no longer in you
I do what i do
I've lost your point of view
I believe no longer in you
Man, your children know it too.
Well, i'm not a faschist
But i'll be a faschist for you
You're hollowed and radical
I'll break the spell of your taboos
I'm not a colour
But i'll be any colour for you
Skinhead, redneck, clean cut, hick.
To rob you of the fear you made your rule.
I gave you my hand
Man, you handed me a gun
You drilled me like a son
I believe no longer in you
I do what i do
I've lost your point of view
I believe no longer in you
Your children know it too
