Faith is a sure sign of blindness
it's the blind leading the blind
whatever happened to logic and reason
what about science and Technology
you don't have to have faith at all
just use your fuckin eyes, it's easy
I don't have faith in my cooker
it could breakdown at any time
I don't have faith that the aeroplane
I am travelling on won't blow up
In this sick fuckin world it just might
you have your faith you gullible asshole
I'll go with what I can see and touch
I don't need to believe - I fuckin know
and all you religious crazies out there
and I don't care what flavour you are
you've been sold a bill of good, a pack
of lies having faith in some cloud driving
imaginary friend, who wants to take a large
number of people and torture them for all
eternity, whilst claiming the monopoly on love
so stop with the faith bullshit
beliefs are for the weak minded
faith is just wishful thinking

(ii)
hope is a sign of weakness
the sign of then begging bowl
it allows people to sit back
inertia their ethical response
the wait for someone else
to go get it or they become hopeless
hope is just another kind of laziness
don't hope! Fuckin do something
it's not going to come to you, ever
get off your ass and fight for it
hope is for the weak and lazy

(iii)
Charity is a sign of fake guilt
as you search for small change
in your pocket or purse or wallet
you think your copper coins will
help when you've just spent eighteen
thousand on a new car get a second
hand one for five use the balance
to save starving and dying children
no that's giving to charity like cancel
the construction of your indoor pool
think of how many lives you could
save, I mean giving, really giving
you give the copper coin to massage
your guilt that you are killing innocents
and you know this to be the case
this is not manslaughter, it's murder
and we are all guilty even the charity
worker who fly in, do some good then
fly back out to their lavish lifestyles
even now one child in Africa dies every
minute. In the time it took you to search
for copper coinage three children died
world mobilisation is necessary
charity just won't cut it

(iv)
the only time I will be interested in
Faith, Hope and Charity is if they are
three Chinese prostitutes working in
Madame Za Za's House of Pain and
Correction and they are into foursomes
