Il testo della Religion

Saw religion had tied freedom
From his shaven head to his toes.
Then i heard freedom and he spoke
Saying his life was about to go.
Then i heard someone shout
"joy be upon you"
But i think it slipped off.
In that place i heard no laughter
Only a cough.
Why the bells, the smells and
And what's that thing?
No drums sounded out people seemed to be -
Mourning.

I think religion's like paper work
That doesn't have to be done.
Who puts a bandae on a bandage when
There's no cut on the thumb.
Why give glory to the poor man wearing
Something like a dress?
You know the one that thinks he has
Power to bless.
Why's he carrying that great big
Shepherd's crook? i wish from his sheep he would
Unhook.

I think pentecostals broke out with g-d
By breaking free from their chains.
In flowed the spirit but so sadly
Out leaked fluid mixed with their brains.
Yet they're surely riding on the crest of
G-d's giant moving wave.
Believing that he wants to speak
Wants to heal, to save.
People let's throw away religion that's
Like a yolk.
Strapped around our neck and then be
Free.
