Religion Lyrics

I saw religion had tied freedom

From his shaven head to his toes.

Then I heard freedom and he spoke

Saying his life was about to go.

Then I heard someone shout

"JOY be upon you"

But I think it slipped off.

In that place I heard no laughter

Only a cough.

Why the bells, the smells and

And what's that thing?

No drums sounded out people seemed to be -

Mourning.

I think religion's like paper work

That doesn't have to be done.

Who puts a bandae on a bandage when

There's no cut on the thumb.

Why give glory to the poor man wearing
Shakhan - Religion - http://motolyrics.com/shakhan/religion-lyrics.html
Something like a dress?

You know the one that thinks he has

Power to bless.

Why's he carrying that great big

Shepherd's crook? I wish from his sheep he would

Unhook.

I think Pentecostals broke out with G-d

By breaking free from their chains.

In flowed the spirit but so sadly

Out leaked fluid mixed with their brains.

Yet they're surely riding on the crest of

G-d's giant moving wave.

Believing that he wants to speak

Wants to heal, to save.

People let's throw away religion that's

Like a yolk.

Strapped around our neck and then be

FREE.
