Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was not created in the likeness of a fraud Your Hell is something scary, I prefer a loving God We are not the center of this funny universe And what is worse, I do not serve in fear of such a curse [Verse 2] Shallow be thy game, 2000 years, look in the mirror You play the game of shame and tell your people "live in fear" A rival to the way you see, the Bible let him be I'm a threat to your survival and your control company [Chorus] You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me I will be your heretic, yeah You can't contain me, I am the power free Truth belongs to everybody [Verse 3] To anyone who's listening, you're not born into sin The guilt they try and give you, puke it in the nearest bin Missionary madness, sweep up culture with a broom Trashing ancient ways is par for course, it's fuckin' rude [Verse 4] To think that you're above the laws of nature, what a joke Oh, purple sashes, feeding masses, smoke on which to choke I might be a monkey when it comes to being holy Fundamental hatred, get down on your knees and- [Chorus] You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me I will be your heretic, yeah You can't contain me, I am the power free Truth belongs to everybody Oh yeah! [Guitar Solo] [Verse 1] I was not created in the likeness of a fraud Your Hell is something scary, I prefer a loving God We are not the center of this funny universe And what is worse, I do not serve in fear of such a- [Chorus] You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me I will be your heretic, yeah You can't contain me, I am the power free Truth belongs to everybody You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me I will be your heretic, yeah You can't contain me, I am the power free Truth belongs to everybody
