All our lives they've been telling us
What's right
What's wrong
Stuck, in our heads like a song
They tell us to have faith
To shut up and just believe
But what the f--k is faith
And who the f--k are they
They try
Pushing us down unlit paths
Then punishing those who stray
But the great ones
Are those who challenge them
And walk another way
They tell us to have faith
To shut up and just believe
But why ask us for our faith
When they're lying through their teeth
Greatness is to walk away
When the demons in priests' clothing
Are begging us to stay
