Religious Con lyrics

Song information

Artist: Oi Polloi
Album: Fuaim Catha

Lyrics

"Every person must submit to the authorities for the existing authorities are instituted by god, consequently anyone who rebels is resisting a divine institution and those who so resist have themselves to thank for the punishment they will receive - for government has no terrors for good behaviour. you wish to have no fear of the authorities? then contribute to do right and you will have their approval for they are god's agents working for your good."

Church and state - lies and hate
Religious con goes on and on
Tell the people to serve the rich
Rape the earth - burn the witch

See thourgh the lies and it all becomes clear
Young children's minds poisoned by fear
Of a god who demends you obey
And spend your life forever slaving away
Give to the church with its wealth piled high
While outside the starving millions die
And then they bless you as you're marched off to war
To die for the rich in their struggle for more

"Man shall not lie with man for it is an abomination in the sight of the lord"

This bigoted crap is fuckin absurd
I'll take a shit on your holy word
Contraception is a sin says the vatican
Patriarchal bullshit - their god is a man
Witch hunts and crusades - how many millions have died
In the bloody history of church genocide?
Anthropocentric bullshit has had its day
Respect the earth and bring back the old ways

No church and no state - love not hate
Feel the power of the stones and the earth in your bones
We'll be one people, no poor and no rich
Respect the earth, relearn the wisdom of the witch
