lyrics

Cross or cube or an obelisk
Symbolic abrogation okays violence
It turns the heart into a hole
And anything unorthodox is evil
But I've found no truth in discussions reached
Oh but I've found the cornerstone of grief

Oh child, I won't pray to your crucifix
I find idolatry ideally limiting
It turns the mind into a stone
All your congregation did was make me feel alone
But I've found no love in the filth you preach
Oh but I've found the greatest love in me
You better believe

God, if you're omnipotent can you forge a stone too large to lift?
Paradoxes set adrift, there's a doctrine for each myth

Your god is angry at your lack of praise
So put the contents of your purse in the collection plate
The Holy See has got their savages inside of the law
To keep you from the ayahuasca and a pathway to God
Kept the Bible in the churches until Gutenberg
You had to ask one of their priests just to read you the word
And when the books were mass-produced, and literacy spread,
They formed the Brotherhood of Jesus just to keep it suppressed

Who's got those telescopes?
These holy hooligans
God is a kaleidoscope
In a world made Boolean

I can't explain it; it makes me feel good
Watching those leftists in Hollywood
Where they lie, cheat, and bait me with an atheist heart
Cut through the shit; their wit so sharp
What would you think if we got Jesus Christ to say that it's true?
We're the news
If you disagree with B, then you must be A...FOOL
Stupid
Racist
Nazi
Rapist
Fascist
The slime of the masses

Who's got those telescopes?
These holy hooligans
God is a kaleidoscope
In the marvelous monochrome museum
Mount Miru in the middle, man

God, if you're omnipotent can you forge a stone too large to lift?
Paradoxes set adrift, there's a doctrine for each myth
God, if you are omniscient can you tell me who doth wrote your script?
Talking toxic rhetoric from serpents dressed in human skin

Who's got those telescopes?
These phony holy hooligans
God is a kaleidoscope
And the church is the grand illusion

Who got the scientists and these historians?
A lovely universe, it's now Copernican
Who got the pederasts and safely harbor them?
Bow down to grovel now
His holy heirophant

I won't bow to a Jesuit
I won't bow to a Jesuit
