People -- what have you done -- |
|
Locked him in his golden cage. |
|
Made him bend to your religion -- |
|
Him resurrected from the grave. |
|
He is the god of nothing -- |
|
If that's all that you can see. |
|
You are the god of everything -- |
|
He's inside you and me. |
|
So lean upon him gently |
|
And don't call on him to save you |
|
From your social graces |
|
And the sins you used to waive. |
|
The bloody church of england -- |
|
In chains of history -- |
|
Requests your earthly presence at |
|
The vicarage for tea. |
|
And the graven image you-know-who -- |
|
With his plastic crucifix -- |
|
He's got him fixed -- |
|
Confuses me as to who and where and why -- |
|
As to how he gets his kicks. |
|
Confessing to the endless sin -- |
|
The endless whining sounds. |
|
You'll be praying till next thursday to |
|
All the gods that you can count. |
