Religious Con Lyrics - Oi Polloi

"Every person must submit to the authorities for the existing authorities are instituted by God, consequently anyone who rebels is resisting a divine institution and those who so resist have themselves to thank for the punishment they will receive - for Government has no terrors for good behaviour. You wish to have no fear of the authorities? Then contribute to do right and you will have their approval for they are God's agents working for your good." 

Church and state - lies and hate 

Religious con goes on and on 

Tell the people to serve the rich 

Rape the earth - burn the witch 

See thourgh the lies and it all becomes clear 

Young children's minds poisoned by fear 

Of a God who demends you obey 

And spend your life forever slaving away 

Give to the church with its wealth piled high 

While outside the starving millions die 

And then they bless you as you're marched off to war 

To die for the rich in their struggle for more 

"Man shall not lie with man for it is an abomination in the sight of the Lord" 

This bigoted crap is fuckin absurd 

I'll take a shit on your holy word 

Contraception is a sin says the Vatican 

Patriarchal bullshit - their God is a man 

Witch hunts and crusades - how many millions have died 

In the bloody history of church genocide? 

Anthropocentric bullshit has had its day 

Respect the earth and bring back the old ways 

No church and no state - love not hate 

Feel the power of the stones and the earth in your bones 

We'll be one people, no poor and no rich 

Respect the earth, relearn the wisdom of the witch
