Jesus died to free us from sin,
And so we shall to free us from him.
Sex Religion and Politics
Have a strangle hold on us,
And our beloved mother pays the bill,
Losing faith and trust.

When you drill for oil in sacred earth
And drop your bombs on a child’s birth
The Ogoni won’t forgive you,
The U’Wa won’t forgive you,
Iragi’s and Palestines won’t forgive you,
You will pay for your crimes against humanity.

Excellent so far, AJ. So much truth in these lines. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Loved it. Reminded me of my favourite musical genius, Roger Waters.

If you ever get the chance, give a listen to an album called "Amused to Death". Entire album is about religion, dogma, and war.
