Lyrics

Fascist Christ

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.

Founding fathers and mothers left us a mandate

We've got to separate the church and the state

So get your head straight before it's too late

And you drop it in the plate, you must appreciate

Jesus and money make a man speak in tongues

Scream out his lungs, roll in the dung

And when the song is sung, he moves up another rung

And the deaf and the dumb are the ones who get stung

Here comes the sex police, they're at your bedroom door

Movin' in next door, searchin' from floor to floor

You know what they're lookin' for

Someone's always keepin' score every time you dip the oar

Love isn't fun no more

Fascist christ, come to the rescue

Gimme that old time religion, here it comes

Let's get fundamental about this strange philosophy

In which god and man are enemies

In which there is no serenity unless you happen to believe

Precisely what they want you to believe, and no diversity

Come join the army and learn the noises

That drown out the others' voices and please the devil

Who rejoices when mankind has no choices

And power exploits us, and peace avoids us

Guess who to the rescue on a holy mission

To uphold the tradition of the Spanish Inquisition

And preempt your decision by forcing your confession

Now let that be a lesson

Who do you think you're messin' with?

Somebody took our god away
