A Little Rhyme About Hypocrisy
So let me tell you somethin',
Let me let you know how I feel.
You can learn more from a plant
than a god who isn't real.
If you gotta burn somethin'
then go and burn a church.
'Cause if you burn a book
then it's murder in the first.
Who are you to say that a thought must die?
Who are you to say how I educate my mind?
Just like in your holy writ,
Metaphorically blind,
Go destroy someone else
who's unsaved and you're fine.
You can preach out of your mouth,
But then you act from your behind.
You are all compared to sheep,
and you don't even seem to mind.
Careful what you wish for,
because you never can tell.
You know that there's a heaven,
but really hope that there's a hell.
Hope that there's a place where the suffering is real.
Well let me ask you something.
Let me know how you feel.
If you all are right,
who do you want to be there?
