Religion is a business
Meant to enslave you
From state to the pulpit
Synagogue to pre-school
Any god could be ruled
By-laws and steep dues
A penance for a sin
And then a tariff will take two
Meant to silence your questions
Make you cave to oppression
Whether state jurisprudence
Or a commandment from heaven
Introduced with aggression
To leave you in depression
And the whole world submitted
Leaves no viewer discretion
Leaves a rues of succession
No choice in the manner
Indoctrinate it long enough
Until the law is enamored
Until the people are hammered
To view your source as a glamour
Until this false-authority
Receives its praise in a clamor
Just a product unhampered
A sales-pitch in relation
Choose a cross or an eagle
And you could change a whole nation
A few scapegoats and martyrs
And a controlled segregation
Almost every act of man
Is part of this occupation
It\'s a monopoly risen
Through a crowd, egotistic
Where you\'re treated as cattle
Just a living statistic
Just an offering held
As though ritualistic
Because in truth of the matter
At the core it\'s sadistic
Whether a preach or a speech
A serminauguration
It\'s a deceit they repeat
Without any hesitation
Passed down one from the other
From our past generations
Just a seed of a lie
That has rooted with mutations
You see, it\'s all just psychotic
They want power and control
They want what they speak
To be all the world knows
To be all that we think
To be all that we sow
To consume our whole lives
And only serve to their roles
You see religion\'s a business
That tries to purchase the mind
Tries to control your heart
And just leave you in the blind
Just leaves you in a bind
So that you can never shine
An identity lost
To be conformed and resigned
