— 5. RELIGIOUS NME —
Those words they left us with are still heavier than lead,
I wish they left us with less and bit their tongues instead.
They said it was gunna be,
It was gunna be alright,
But now we're all in guillotines,
Stuck on chesterfields drooling drifting off to sea.
Still sinking,
How much longer 'til we drown?
Still thinking,
About the surface freedom bound,
Where we'll no longer see,
These religious enemies,
How soon 'til we're set free?
Anti reme-fucking-deeee.
Head sick from hypocrisy to all these false beliefs,
How many more sadistic wars,
Will all of us still bleed?
High five to giving up young lives,
Distracting eyes,
And dumbing down the wise with,
Every single last false advertisement,
Still out of sync with every generation.
Sinking…
How much longer ’til we drown?
Still thinking,
Above the surface freedom bound,
Where we'll no longer see these religious enemies,
How soon 'til we're set free.
How much longer will we be around...
Can't you feel the repetition,
Sinking,
How much longer will we be around,
Still thinking,
About the surface freedom bound,
Where we’ll no longer see,
Everybody sinking,
How much longer ’til we drown,
Religious enemies,
End this catastrophe,
And then we’ll feel set free.
