lyrics
I'm Religious
Maybe it’s because I’m the bastard son
That was born out(side) of love
In this house of shit-hardened brick;
Under the star for the disaffected
But I live my life indignant,
Stubborn and seeking inspiration
Cause from my manger to my cross—
Time’s ticking
And there’s no time to suffer a boss
Pseudo-Chorus
So with that,
The three Kings and I,
We’re setting out to redeem
Everyone alive!
A journey across the map
To call shit like it is,
And point fingers, unabashed!
It might take the end
For a chosen few
To ensure divinity to this crew
Well, we’ll just have to chance it…
We spread the Gospel of fervent rage
To working folk and pariah the same
All the way from the Cayman Isles
To the dark wells of sand dune lakes
Pseudo-Chorus
It’s an Inquisition for
Idolaters and financial whores
Seeking the day for their Last Supper now
Life has bent its will
Long enough for such greedy men
So raise the stakes and light the pyres
Hoist up the offending liars
And leave them for dead
Outro
Scream “Sakes Alive!!”
Scream “Sakes Alive!!”
We are born again
Maybe it’s because I’m the bastard son
That was born out(side) of love
In this house of shit-hardened brick;
Under the star for the disaffected
But I live my life indignant,
Stubborn and seeking inspiration
Cause from my manger to my cross—
Time’s ticking
And there’s no time to suffer a boss
Pseudo-Chorus
So with that,
The three Kings and I,
We’re setting out to redeem
Everyone alive!
A journey across the map
To call shit like it is,
And point fingers, unabashed!
It might take the end
For a chosen few
To ensure divinity to this crew
Well, we’ll just have to chance it…
We spread the Gospel of fervent rage
To working folk and pariah the same
All the way from the Cayman Isles
To the dark wells of sand dune lakes
Pseudo-Chorus
It’s an Inquisition for
Idolaters and financial whores
Seeking the day for their Last Supper now
Life has bent its will
Long enough for such greedy men
So raise the stakes and light the pyres
Hoist up the offending liars
And leave them for dead
Outro
Scream “Sakes Alive!!”
Scream “Sakes Alive!!”
We are born again
