Religion Lyrics - Shakhan

saw religion had tied freedom 

from his shaven head to his toes. 

Then I heard freedom and he spoke 

saying his life was about to go. 

Then I heard someone shout 

"JOY be upon you" 

but I think it slipped off. 

In that place I heard no laughter 

only a cough. 

Why the bells, the smells and 

and what's that thing? 

No drums sounded out people seemed to be - 

mourning. 

I think religion's like paper work 

that doesn't have to be done. 

Who puts a bandae on a bandage when 

there's no cut on the thumb. 

Why give glory to the poor man wearing 

something like a dress? 

You know the one that thinks he has 

power to bless. 

Why's he carrying that great big 

shepherd's crook? I wish from his sheep he would 

unhook. 

I think Pentecostals broke out with G-d 

by breaking free from their chains. 

In flowed the spirit but so sadly 

out leaked fluid mixed with their brains. 

Yet they're surely riding on the crest of 

G-d's giant moving wave. 

Believing that he wants to speak 

wants to heal, to save. 

People let's throw away religion that's 

like a yolk. 

Strapped around our neck and then be 

FREE.
