Go Out With a Bang

lyrics

I believe what is most likely
I didn’t lay out a bunch of ideas and now I’m following the one that I chose blindly
Deserving and achieving are nothing but lies
I’m standing on top of the world and I’m jumping tonight
Duct tape around my ankles, I did it myself
Put my wife on a chain and locked my kids in a cell
To keep even a subtle thought of sinning beginning
To keep my life as a Christian perfect, it is or it isn’t
[LET ME BE CLEAR] a sinner is somebody who is pompous
Life is built around everything they accomplish
Attitude has little to do then with what they promise
Ask yourself what you and this description have in common
Grab your children, tie them to the alter
Don’t let them go till they are crying to the father
This is not what Christianity was built for
The child that the church is giving birth to is still-born

Don’t like the taste of Catholic, I won’t settle Baptist
My faith and belief in love is full metal jacket
Yeah, religion can be mind-numbing
I guarantee that Mormons and Jehovah witnesses are hiding something
(1)I’m not feeling it, (2) till the ceiling’s lit
(3)The roof is on fire, Jesus camp is killing kids
I’ll show you less verbal
Sew my mouth shut and march a whole group of homosexuals into Westborough
Naturally, I’d love to meet you and put hands to throat
And leave no remains of you but your website and a ransom note
Do the world a favor, come see me, picket at a show
And let me watch as, your entire family gets trampled slow
While you’re spending all your time alive
Crying about what you’ve been brainwashed to believe; (shh) silence
Christians; give everything you have away
Will you suffer to better the lives of the people who suffer everyday?

This is the way I’ve been, this is the way I am
And I refuse to change for bad or ever fabricate to fans

If you love advice - here – do not trust your eyes
YOU may become the only person that you don’t undermine
If every time you should apologize is justified
You may find you’re losing your mind on Shutter Island
Is your wife one of a kind or just another siren?
you love pride would you cry at the sight of your lover dying?
Because you’re trying to interpret your dreams
It’s likely you’ll run into doubt that could deter your beliefs
What church has become, it hurts me to see
Because of my words it isn’t Ludacris to say that I could be disturbing the peace
I’ll give you something to cry about
Right in front of a giant crowd, rip every line out of your lying mouth
Chew it up and spit it straight in your face
Show you Proof that Dirty Harry is here; make my day
Don’t mean to get you scared or upset
But when your KIDS start reminding you of yourself it will scare you to death

You’ve waited, here it is,
If you want it, come and get it, brace yourself
Attitude over what you achieve
Love, provoke, suffer, we’re going out with a bang
