printed on a paper plate meant for pizza

body of believers
but the head was given to christ
no thought required

the favorite religion
of oppressive governments
is any religion

that's why this country has freedom of religion
learn to obey to please
and you will be saved

be good subjects
and be subject
work hard
do
god will approve
and it will all pay off
in the sweet by and by

accept your suffering
and god will give you all that you have earned
by your steadfast obedience

our abuse will cleanse you
but to disagree with us
is to disagree with god

ernesto 'che' guevara was right

"in fact, if christ himself stood in my way, i, like nietzsche, would not hesitate to squish him like a worm."

your reasons would regulate my revolution
address my motions which may be constrained
by the laws of physics
but not by the lesson plans
you lay out in the schools

whether it is sunday or the weekday
you taught me the reason i should behave accordingly
but now i am free
not by truth
but by rejection of truth

and these streets so dark only neon can guide the way
tonight it was pizza
tomorrow it may be the same
because whichever sign i heed
it doesn't really matter
