lyrics

Church is pissed off, ready to go
Packed their hatred for the funeral
Bigots, racists, inbred pigs
Righteous minds doth bias transcend

They're calling people Sodomites,
I'm screaming Pharisee
Jesus was a punk rocker, he took a stand
Crying “Anarchy!"

Conservatives start leading herds
Blindly lead by mistaken words
Pastors, bankers, all the same
Money given by god's fair game

They’re calling people Communists
I’m screaming Oligarchy
Jesus was a punk rocker, he took a stand
Crying “Anarchy!"

If you’re going to obsess over a book
You should probably take the time and give it a look
Your god hated wealth and authority
He wanted socialism, post-Roman anarchy

I’m calling out for less ignorance
I’m screaming literacy
The guy you worship was a punk, through, and through,
Just read.
