Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People, what have you done?
Locked him in his golden cage
Golden cage
[Verse 2]
Made him bend to your religion
Him resurrected from the grave
From the grave
[Verse 3]
He is the God of nothing
Which is all that you can see
[Verse 4]
You are the God of everything
Since he's inside you and me
[Verse 5]
So lean upon Him gently
And don't call on Him to save
[Verse 6]
You from your social graces
And the sins you wished to waive
You wished to waive
[Verse 7]
The Jewish Christian Muslim
Is waiting to be free
[Verse 8]
Each claiming just a part of Him
Also a part of me
[Verse 9]
And the graven image Catholic
With his plastic crucifix
Are you get it a fixed?
[Verse 10]
Confusing me as to who and where and why
As to how he gets his kicks
He gets his kicks
[Verse 11]
Confessing to the endless sin
With endless whining sounds
[Verse 12]
You'll be praying till next Thursday
To all the Gods that you can count
