With all I need under my arm I'm off to Sunday school
To prove to ma and pa I'm not some heathen fool
But while we sit together within our untended rows
A doubtful motion inside of me, I feel it as it grows
I recall advice my mother once gave, if things weren't going my way
The answers to all my questions would come if I'd only kneel down to pray
So I followed her precious words and asked my lord quite a lot
when we die do we fly to the heavens above or just sit in the ground to rot?
But I never got a reply, and I'll admit I was in utter devastation
Oh well, just another fun reason to support cremation
My thoughts began to wander, as children surely do
I questioned every lesson, church had put me through
I arrived to my own logical conclusions
and no longer felt the vice grip of multiple confusions
I'd figured it out, all these things by myself
No need for some book, collecting dust on a shelf
Unable to take my teacher's obvious lies, anymore
I stood on my desk and shouted "shut up, you whore!
I see right through your sick little game
If god made pain why isn't he to blame?
It is all justified with some crackpot fairy tale
of pure evil in the form of a Christian hell
Spooky demons there, trapped souls forever to remain
This trash is all made up, are you completely insane?
Faith or hope or whichever you call it
to achieve it we have to sacrifice logic!
I can't let my mind slip into such disrepair
Call me all you wish, I honestly don't care
Sinner, heathen, any colorful term in the book
If your god is real, won't he come take a look?
Punish his wayward son in some fashion
Or are deities bereft of such dauntless passion
Ill give a good show just to justify your frown
God, if you hear me please come strike me down!
What ho, no magnificent thunderbolt from the sky
no shining light of divine retribution to make me die?
Care to explain why I still stand amongst you
any ideas that you believe to be so true?
More pathetic bedtime stories, I'll wager
Your futile theories put us all in danger!
Put down the script of deceit and think for a change
for yourself so maybe we could elevate this human stain
Look at the hypocrite garbage within those supposed holy pages
that downplay unknown magic, yet support godly mages
Thou shall not commit murder it says, don't make me cry!
You know how many have died in the name of that invisible joke in the sky?
But that is all religion is, just a power game
oil to machines that fuel war, wealth, and fame
A set of hopeful ideas, perverted for years
playing on the minds of the weak and their fears
I am sick of it all, this political clash
I'll put my bible where it belongs, in the trash
And think for myself, not relying on false hope
Like some invisible god, or a fool such as the pope.
They're all just criminal hustlers, at the end of the day
And cash a new check each time that you pray
And offer your love to that shiny collection plate
harming yourself and sealing your fate!
To the divine plan of some mystical force that isn't there
As you moan and complain about how life isn't fair
Before I go, I've one last fantastic idea to bestow
An answer to several questions I am sure you all know
My victories came from no god, you see
Was my doing alone, it all rose from me
I've only myself to thank for these glories
none of your pitiful bedtime stories
If Jesus truly saves, then he should save himself the tolerance
and get away from your god damn close minded ignorance!"
The room simply stared in bewilderment and horror
I walked out the door, to deal with them no more
So ended my adventure to Sunday school
where I learned not to be a shepherd-led blind fool.
