Lyrics

- Earn Your Religion -
 
I came in from the cold 
Your stone walls won't warm my chill 
Sought forgiveness for my crimes 
A dose of soma for my soul 
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain 
He's the man from the land of Oz 
  
Father dear 
Won't you tell me why we're here 
Mother dear 
I have stumbled in my faith 
What's the plan  
From the man who pulls the strings 
Please confess 
What it takes to 
Earn your religion 
  
Faith in a mystery 
Were you touched or were you taught? 
Hands and feet that bleed 
Gospel truth in all you read 
You know that book will only drive the wedge in deeper 
I'm no soldier for the cause 
  
Father dear  
Won't you tell me why we're here  
Mother dear  
I have stumbled in my faith  
What's the plan   
From the man who pulls the strings  
Please confess  
What it takes to  
Earn your religion
