Bibles and Bullies
Squint and play nice
It's hard to be mean
With the sun in your eyes
Clouds pass and I get a glimpse
Clinch my fist and take aim
Close my eyes and wish for the best
Faith always burns the sightless
Paper and promises
A book of fables no one has time for
Laws and riddles
Numbers repeated to nausea
No one asks why
Pray against seven, worship ten
Faith always burns the sightless
A saint is but a fool on an errand
Pastors as lost as their sheep
Lest we forget the marytrs
An eternal life worth dying for
One true nothing, myths and legends
No one's different in their play things
Faith always burns the sightless
Fire never burns the faithless
But it will burn everything else
Cult, Cult, Cult
It's all a joke
Drown a child
And claim salvation
Go to the store and demand a discount
Finger your meat and demand a free replacement
Kill your pastor and demand his widow leave their home
Faith will always burn the sightless
It's hard to be mean
With the sun in your eyes
Clouds pass and I get a glimpse
Clinch my fist and take aim
Close my eyes and wish for the best
Faith always burns the sightless
Paper and promises
A book of fables no one has time for
Laws and riddles
Numbers repeated to nausea
No one asks why
Pray against seven, worship ten
Faith always burns the sightless
A saint is but a fool on an errand
Pastors as lost as their sheep
Lest we forget the marytrs
An eternal life worth dying for
One true nothing, myths and legends
No one's different in their play things
Faith always burns the sightless
Fire never burns the faithless
But it will burn everything else
Cult, Cult, Cult
It's all a joke

Finger your meat and demand a free replacement
Kill your pastor and demand his widow leave their home
Faith will always burn the sightless
