Church on Sunday
Don't forget about God
You're a slave for Jesus
You need to think that's odd
Pass around the plate
Accepting donations
And the price is high
But still, you won't die
The money's a tax right-off anyway
You call it religion
We call it bullshit
You think the way to heaven is through your pockets
You spend your life
You need to sacrifice
Always afraid you're gonna pay the price
Guilt on your hand,
Well you'll soon be dead
so you'll try to find your way into
heaven instead
You're wasting your time (wasting your time)
You're wasting your life (wasting your life)
Everybody ends up 6 feet under
Religious formalities
Every week
All wrapped up in your
Fucking protocol
So unaware
Your head bowed in prayer
Father, save me from
My sins, my sins, my!
Do unto others as they do unto you
Is that John 2-24-24-2
Don't know
I haven't read the Bible today
You call it religion
We call it bullshit
You think the way to heaven is through your pockets
You spend your life
You need to sacrifice
Always afraid you're gonna pay the price
Guilt on your hand,
Well you'll soon be dead
so you'll try to find your way into
heaven instead
You're wasting your time (wasting your time)
You're wasting your life (wasting your life)
Everybody ends up 6 feet under
