Thank God-Be Your Own Person
Date: 01/14/01
You see that humanity is stricken
our values decayed and sickened
I know you know the world is blighted
but you can't rely on God to right it
Thank God for giving you life
while thousands fall to the knife
Praise God for the money you make
even though this happiness is fake
Let God handle it, he'll take command
so you don't have to lend a hand
Love God when he makes today your day
when life sucks it's just "his way"
But God forbid that you have to act now
you realize that don't remember how
"Hey, God" you ask "why are we so meek?"
He is the sheperd, you are all sheep.
Now God can't break you from these bonds
now priests aren't messengers from beyond
Fuck God, he's not the only thing you need
you are your selves, your loves, your deeds.
Well, God, I guess it's all over for us
all your voices from my mind I've pushed
My God, I've never felt so free to be me
and to see that there's more to morality
What God never said is that he would mind
it's the words of mere men that we let bind
Thank God we can still part on good terms
shouldn't a savior be more kind, and less firm?
You see that humanity is weakened
held captive too long, seeking
I'm giving you now the seeds you must sow
to reap a new life that's only your own
