Description
A haunting and un-nerving song hilighting the ever current theme of the uneasy relationship between wealth and religious values in capitalist society. A song basically about the hypocracy in Western Christianity - especially in the affluent bible bashing belt in America.
Lyrics
So you heard the voice of Jesus? Tucked 'tween the lines of greed The Noble Lie doth satisy And gives you all you want - But never need So you strolled off too the churches Then you marched off down the mall You worshipped God and Mammon Camels, needles' eyes? You must recall (CHORUS) But you think you're going to Heaven The big black dogma bit your brain So who's the true believer And who's the damned insane? You hide behind brain whitewashed fences You barbie hard on well mowed lawns Money laundered, squandered whores Of more and more and more and mores While the Uber - Cut and yawn CHORUS CHORUS
