God the pulpit, scripture and new model car

 Said you couldn't see God
Didn't they send you the diagram of the cherub
Haven't you recieved the panflet illustrating heaven
The promise of spiritual bliss in the hereafter

couldn't you just gobble it all down like these geese humans
quacking and screeching their repeated fantasy
verses they memorized like martial arts kata
Why don't you want to become one of them

Church clothes, singing voice
humility bordering on arrogance
imposing scripture backed opinions
Wouldn't that give you a kick

But God is none of that
It is freedom - how can you know the seed
without witnessing it's growth
You need lights, noise and infatuation

God is none of that
It is knowing the journey is long
And planning in the name of God
It is laughing at defeat, yes indeed

God is not the bible
Christ is not your opinions
Your hypocrisy is yours
Your pew and your rosary

So we see you play dolls and dress up and pretend
Like a majestic cardinal, the pomp and silk
The way to truth is not your way
your beliefs reflect the consensus

Your righteous words don't echo
You believe good deeds are needless 
Your indignation at minorities
is only a bib to catch the shit dripping from your proud arrogant lips

You pray on the wood
saintly music and well dressed priest or pastor
You ask for the next model of your favorite car
Never lifting up your own heart or mind
