lyrics

yer tellin lies to keep them coming back
so they believe that they are prepped for redemption
it's in yer eyes, the stories hold the truth
that's why yer preaching it with no hesitation

leading the blind with a false sense of purpose
death will always be cold and mirthless
no light will guide you back home
to the city in the sky where the angels roam
it lessens opinions of ones self worth
striving for love but condemned since birth
a lifetime of proving that yer worth his grace
but in death you won't find his warm embrace

it's time to replace yer faith, substitute it with reason
stop taking morals from a book that is largely indecent
pick and choose through the verses the rules which to follow
how come the biggest lies seem so easy to swallow

10 percent has turned this into a business
as part time employees it's yer job to bear witness
christian tv, hospitals and schools
any comment against it is a war on yer views
keep yer god out of the state we aren't led by a cross
clinging on to a faith that's been lost
to the sciences developed, tested and true
denial of facts makes you look like a fool

pray away the sins of a country
send bibles to people malnourished and hungry
can't save yer body, let's save yer soul
bow down and give thanks for the pain you behold
cry but accept it when prayers go unanswered
while he spreads aids, hepatitis and cancer
give thanks when you find strength to work through yer problems
be proud of yerself because you actually solved them
no man looks down from the sky
keeping us safe with a kind watchful eye
omnipotent, but prone to deny
turning his back he will never reply
