East Jesus Nowhere (Green Day)

Немного американского панк-юмора об американском христианском фундаментализме: Billie Joe Armstrong & Co с песней East Jesus Nowhere, навеянной посещением одной американской церкви с целью присутстствия на крещении ребенка своих друзей.





Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
You’re a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that’s been sodomized
Stand up! - All the white boys
Sit down! - All the black girls
You’re the soldiers of the new world

Put your faith in miracle
And it’s non-denominational
Join the choir we will be singing
In the church of wishful thinking
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Oh bless me lord for I have sinned
It’s been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in The River
Of a Shadow of Doubt
And i’ll be dressed in my Sunday best
Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Ain’t this uniform so flattering?
I never asked you a god damned thing!
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Don’t test me
Second guess me
Protest me
You will disappear!
I want to know who’s allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read?
Missionary politicians
And the cops of a new religion?
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside
