A child is born, his father beams
Another chance to live his dreams.
A new life now to guide and mold,
He’ll tell the child what he’s been told.
An intellect to quickly seize.
Embrace the faith while reason flees,
So much of life spent on your knees,
So much of life spent on your knees.

Baptize this innocent with tricks
Of sacrifice and crucifix.
Whispered prayers and chanted psalm
Deliver fear and guilt with calm.
Behind nonsense of ritual
Words tempt of heaven, threaten hell.
Reality is hard to sell.
Realitys so hard to sell.

Truth is harder still to find
To keep the faith you close the mind
And faith, not intellect, is chief
When minds are frozen in belief
Smear ashes on the brow
Starve, but feed the Sacred Cow.

Torah, Koran, Bible scribes
Recite the dusty diatribes.
Recite, recite the diatribes.

Quote endless scripture, pray the beads.
Worship countless deities.
Proclaiming love, dispense the hate.
Banish, – excommunicate!
Scorn the man whom reason rules,
Congregate with holy fools.
Capture minds while theyre still young.
Be sure to get them when theyre young.

Cathedrals vaulted ceilings high
Regally dress up the lie.
Burn the incense, sing and sway,
Superstition saves the day.
Ring the bells and genuflect.
Dance with snakes around your neck
Wail at the wall, bow to the East,
Ignorance is a senseless beast.
Shout fire and brimstone, Heaven and Hell
but fear most The Individual
Fear most the Individual.
