Archaic Subjugation

Lyrics

[Intro: Spoken] "Certain linguistic anthropologists Think religion is a language virus That rewrites pathways in the brain Dulls critical thinking" [Verse 1] In a masochistic scheme We've all learned to be used Conditioned and controlled To gladly suffer abuse A world of worker drones Inside a cage of make-believe You're either being grifted Or you've come to deceive [Verse 2] All denominations From every gilded temple All hide a central theme Within a devious dissemble An empire of slaves Below a hypocrite perch Archaic subjugation But you call it "Church"! [Hook] Blindly follow easily An empty cut-and-paste An ethos of dishonesty And sympathy misplaced Cash in when confronted By the truth behind the wraith Abundant opportunities To con the world with faith [Outro] You really know assuredly You don't live in hell? You really know assuredly You don't live in hell? You really need assurance That you won't go to hell? Then throw your fuckin' scripture Down a wishing well!
