  • Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
    While the hypocrites hide inside
    With the lies of statues in their minds
    Where the Christian religion made them blind
    Where they hide
    And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog
    Not for one race, one creed, one world
    But for money
    Effective
    Absurd

    Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host
    Do you read who's dead in the Irish Post
    Do you give away the cash you can't afford
    On bended knees and pray to lord

    Fat pig priest
    Sanctimonious smiles
    He takes the money
    You take the lies
    This is religion and Jesus Christ
    This is religion cheaply priced
    This is bibles full of libel
    This is sin in eternal hymn
    This is what they've done
    This is your religion
    The apostles were eleven
    Now there's a sod in Heaven

    This is religion
    There's a liar on the altar
    The sermon never falter
    This is religion
