Amy Arena - New Religion lyrics

I'm disgusted by these sanctimonious ba*tards Who baptize their flock with their fondlings Masturbation, sodomies and hypocritical vows of chastity and poverty They're all cold-hearted people With nothing but murder and hate in their souls Let me know if you believe in resurrection The virgin birth The burning bush The parting of the sea and all the other garbage I really wanna know You see, I have this bridge I'm looking to sell It's called the Brooklyn Bridge And I'm looking for a buyer Maybe you're interested I will give you a really good deal 'Cause I'm gonna start a new religion I wanna start a new religion! I wanna start a new religion! I don't believe in the old one I don't believe in the old one... Do you know how the blessings of your God really add up? There are annual dues to be paid The extracted pledges and collection plate too The services of your priest at a baptism or wedding really cost you Why do I have to pay for this? They could get real jobs and pay taxes too Well I'm not payin' anymore! 'Cause I'm gonna start a new religion I wanna start a new religion! I wanna start a new religion! I don't believe in your heaven I don't believe in your heaven... Why should I burn in hell 'Cause I belong to a different religion? If I'm a good person Good people shouldn't be excluded! Just because they haven't been baptized, batmitzvahed Just be a good person, the best you can And you won't have to change your religion! 'Cause I'm gonna start a new one I wanna start a new religion! I wanna start a new religion! I'm so tired of the hatred I'm so tired of the hatred... The Jews hate the Arabs The Serbs hate the m**ms The Protestants hate the Catholics And then there are religious wars Boring, boring, boring... There shouldn't be any reasons to fight anyone with another belief Kiss your scriptures Kiss your Satanic writings for all I care 'Cause there's gonna be room for everyone In the new religion I'm gonna start I wanna start a new religion! I wanna start a new religion! Too much praying in the old one Too much praying in the old one... Did you ever stop to think That the only thing that ever happens at a church Or temple or mosque is praying? m**ms have to pray five times a day! What for? It's nothing but a colossal waste of t-t-t-time I can tell Well there's not gonna be any praying anymore My ideas gonna be to form good deeds That's the new religion- That's it, good deeds, nothing more No priests, no praying, no fasting All the blessing will be free And everyone belongs by performing good deeds That's the new religion and I'm founding it! I'm gonna start it real soon 'Cause the old one doesn't work anymore And Armageddon is just around the corner Just around the corner Man's voice: Hey, what do you think you're some kind of prophet, or something?
