[00:00.54]It's a series of bars, thrift stores and churches lining the streets
[00:08.41]While women with gold crosses push kids into half-formed beliefs
[00:15.85]And if Lord was righteous, I think I'd rather not be
[00:23.48]We lean on fences built from out-dated morality
[00:30.48]It's a gang mentality
[00:33.66]
[00:34.62]It's a dangerous thing
[00:37.74]They don't ask you to think, just to repeat after me
[00:44.79]And assume you're too careless to look at it critically
[00:51.42]You'll stop progress if it contradicts what you're told to believe
[01:00.38]
[01:01.38]I refuse to spend life on my knees
[01:08.26]
[01:09.16]These billboards that flaunt these scare tactics
[01:15.57]Make me think you're only good if you're afraid of being punished
[01:22.57]Every single Sunday, church bells wake me up
[01:30.66]But it's never enough to pull me out of bed
[01:37.51]
[01:50.45]The church on Main Street has got its doors painted red
[01:55.51]And I guess it's so the Angel of Death passes over it
[02:01.90]On its way to get gas
[02:04.77]The church over on Broad Street has got a neon sign that says Jesus Save Me
[02:10.59]And I guess it's so God can see from where he is in the cheap seats
[02:19.22]
[02:21.73]I refuse to spend life on my knees
[02:30.22]And I won't let somebody else make my decisions for me
[02:42.80]
[02:43.99]If we're all just Christians or Lions
[02:48.93]Then I think I'd rather be on the side with sharper teeth
[02:55.81]I don't need saving
