Shallow by the game

I was not created
In the likeness of a fraud
Your hell is something scary
I prefer a loving god
We are not the center
Of this funny universe
And what is something worse
I do not serve
In fear of such a curse
Shallow by the game
2000 years look in the mirror
You play the game of shame
And tell your people live in fear
A rival to the way you see
The bible let him be
I´m a threat to your survival
And your control company
You´ll never burn me
You´ll never burn me
I´ll be your heretic
You can´t contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody
To anyone who´s listenin´
You´re not born into sin
The guilt they try and give you
Puke it in the nearest bin
Missionary maddness
Sweep up culture w/ a broom
Trashing ancient ways
Is par for the course
It´s fucking rude
To think that you´re above
The laws of nature is a joke
Purple sashes feeding masses
Smoke on which to choke
I might be a monkey
When it comes to being holy
Fundamental hatred
Get down on your knees and
You´ll never burn me
You´ll never burn me
I´ll be your heretic
You can´t contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody
In the likeness of a fraud
Your hell is something scary
I prefer a loving god
We are not the center
Of this funny universe
And what is something worse
I do not serve
In fear of such a curse
Shallow by the game
2000 years look in the mirror
You play the game of shame
And tell your people live in fear
A rival to the way you see
The bible let him be
I´m a threat to your survival
And your control company
You´ll never burn me
You´ll never burn me
I´ll be your heretic
You can´t contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody
To anyone who´s listenin´
You´re not born into sin
The guilt they try and give you
Puke it in the nearest bin
