East Jesus Nowhere
And we will see how godless a nation we have become
Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
You're a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that's been sodomized, well
(Step up) all the white boys
(Step down) and the black girls
(Step up) you're the soldiers
(Step down) of the new world
Put your faith in a miracle
And it's non-denominational
Join the choir, we'll be singing
In the church of wishful thinking
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Oh, bless me Lord for I have sinned
It's been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in the river of a shadow of doubt
And I'll be dressed up in my Sunday best
Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Ain't this uniform so flattering?
I never asked you a goddamn thing
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Don't test me
Second-guess me
Protest me, you will disappear
I wanna know who's allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
Missionary politicians
And the cops of the new religion
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside
Yeah
Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
You're a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that's been sodomized, well
(Step up) all the white boys
(Step down) and the black girls
(Step up) you're the soldiers
(Step down) of the new world
Put your faith in a miracle
And it's non-denominational
Join the choir, we'll be singing
In the church of wishful thinking
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Oh, bless me Lord for I have sinned
It's been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in the river of a shadow of doubt
And I'll be dressed up in my Sunday best
Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Ain't this uniform so flattering?
I never asked you a goddamn thing
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Don't test me
Second-guess me
Protest me, you will disappear
I wanna know who's allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
Missionary politicians
And the cops of the new religion
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside
Yeah
