"
Though I may seem callous" cried old Thomas Malthus,"
Paupers are better off dead.
That we have to feed them is something we need
Like a musket shot straight through the head."
Not much of a smiler - our man Wat Tyler(
Died for the working man's fight).
Was daring such a treason a justified reason
For ending his days with his head on a spike?
In order to see pearly factory gates -
We all learn our places (pre-destined fates).
God fearing people with minimal goals,
Led to the slaughter - "tools with souls".
Save us from hellfire -
Save us from dancing the Brimstone Ballet.
When the church and its leaders sought new ways to bleed us -
It didn't take them long to find,
Fear of perdition beats nuclear
Fission at making the mill-wheels grind.
Ban contraception - a shrewd move says I
Plenty of slaves born to suffer and die.
Say "
Go forth and multiply" when you want more.
When you've too many just send them to war.
History's wounds will not heal overnight -
They pray for my soul as they set me alight.
Remember the maxim "
Arbeit Macht Frei" -
Thought up by a christian with God on his side...
It's a hell made by christians with God on their side.
The work goes on in babylon -
Enslaving us from birth,
With promises of paradise -
They've made a hell on earth.
Save us from hellfire -
Save us from dancing the Brimstone Ballet.
Well I think that Satan was God's best creation -
He's kept him in business for years.
It's not common sense making mankind repent -
But eternal damnation it fears.
They're not slow to realise - they know every trick.
Drive human donkeys with God on a stick.
Tom Torquemada - he sings like a dream,
Lucrecia Borgia plays lead tambourine.
In order to see pearly factory gates -
We all learn our places (pre-destined fates).
God fearing people with minimal goals,
Led to the slaughter - "tools with souls!"
Save us from hellfire -
Save us from dancing the Brimstone Ballet.
