Intro: x8
Verse 1:
Raise your hands now to testify
Your confessions will be crucified
You're a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that's been sodomized
[Stand up!] all the white boys
[Sit down!] all the black girls
You're the soldiers
of the new world
Refrain 1:
Put your faith in a miracle
And it's non-denominational
Join the choir we will be singing
In the church of wishful thinking
Chorus 1:
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Guitar Solo: x4

Verse 2: Bass Lines
Oh bless me lord for I have sinned
It's been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in "the river
Of a shadow of doubt"
Em G B pause D A
And I'll be dressed in my Sunday best
Refrain 2:
Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Ain't this uniform so flattering?
I never asked you a god damned thing
(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge:
Don't test me
Second guess me
Protest me
Refrain 3:
I want to know who's allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learn to read
Missionary politicians
And the cops of a new religion
