Against The Grain Lyrics - Singles - Earthsuit

You wanna strangle me, then here's my neck 

You ain't got the strength to flex so fess 

You wanna get all up in my destiny 

Haughty rules and words that hinder me 

Go and teach men's commandments from afar 

It's who you are and you dare 

Build a dam on the spiritual real your ruling is appealed 

I've been sent to your boat to rock it 

Men flood hell while your hands are in your pocket 

You separate from the life source and endorse 

And force secret religious codes like Morse 

Constraints, why do you seize us? Just give me Jesus 

I'll be free in this unruly world nowhere to hide, I'm going untied 

Suffocation, where's it come from 

Exhalation, throw religion 

I go up against the grain 

I go up against the grain 

I go up against the grain 

I go up against the grain 

You're like boa constriction, don't lube the friction 

Spiritual got impeached like Nixon 

Anorexic generation X result by default the inner man assault 

Beat to a pulp confined from the river and no limbs for the body 

Prodigals are being forced to eat pig's food 

When the church has a feast for this starving crew 

You cannot ever muzzle me from reprimanding what puzzles me 

The rigid formalities of mankind that choke the hidden man 

As you proclaim, "Let us make God in our own image" 

And when you're finished you've manipulated my passion 

I'll come out thrashing 

The sky turns red as I migraine the head 

Suffocation, where's it come from 

Exhalation, throw religion 

I go up against the grain 

I go up against the grain 

I go up against the grain 

I go up against the grain 

Your liberty is what we need 

Father set us free 

Your liberty is what we need 

So set us free 

I go up against the grain, I'm untied 

Go up against the grain 

I go up against the grain, I'm untied 

Go up against the grain 

Suffocation, where's it come from 

Exhalation, throw religion 

Suffocation, where's it come from 

Exhalation, throw religion
