Religion's Mask

Religion wrapped up with a bow Sanitized, alphabetized, in order all up in a row No questions asked your belly full your pockets overflow  Sieg heil, tow the party line You'll be religion"s ho Grab your pitchforks, torches too we marching up the hill The doctors in with body parts and still attempts to build In frenzy and with blood thirst no mercy we'll extend  No matter what the truth is we rally all the troops, and fight until the end Just justify your actions And say "God told me to" For this will ease your conscience  And make your lie sound true While the things that really matter  Are lying unattended To Mercy Grace or Humility Your knee remains unbending  Your form of godliness has no power God can see But just hold another seminar and make the topic . . .  me! Stroke my pride fix my marriage and my children too Three easy steps become a partner and then it's free for you But send your money in today  Or we're going off the air But my book is free my teeth are straight I got morning talk show hair Forget the sick forget the hurting their sin is their own fault Let's just make sure we got our  steeples and stained glass windows bought We don't really want to touch them for fear of their disease But we do like our pews padded  and we do enjoy our ease Because we know that God's main concern is to make us all feel good And we 'll write another book about it When He don't act like we think He should And I'm sure when we stand before Him He'll pat our heads and say Because you were religious  You made Me smile today . I think you see by now This is not how it will be For powerless religion is not your destiny And now you stand here gazing Wondering what next I will say Looking at hypocrisy I bid you all good day 2nd Timothy 3:5
