"East Jesus Nowhere"

And we will see how Godless a nation we have become

Raise your hands now to testify

Your confession will be crucified

You're a sacrificial suicide

Like a dog that's been sodomized, well

(Step up!) All the white boys

(Step down!) And the black girls

(Step up!) You're the soldiers

(Step down!) Of the new world

Put your faith in a miracle

And it's non-denominational

Join the choir, we'll be singing

In the church of wishful thinking

A fire burns today

Of blasphemy and genocide

The sirens of decay

Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Oh, bless me Lord for I have sinned

It's been a lifetime since I last confessed

I threw my crutches in the river of a shadow of doubt

And I'll be dressed up in my Sunday best

Say a prayer for the family

Drop a coin for humanity

Ain't this uniform so flattering?

I never asked you a goddamn thing

A fire burns today

Of blasphemy and genocide

The sirens of decay

Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Don't test me

Second-guess me

Protest me, you will disappear

I wanna know who's allowed to breed

All the dogs who never learned to read

Missionary politicians

And the cops of the new religion

A fire burns today

Of blasphemy and genocide

The sirens of decay

Will infiltrate the inside

Yeah!
