- Track Name: Jesus Sold Out
-
I liked Christ before He appeared in giant churches
With giant golden crucifixes bearing His likeness
He used to host free dinners Himself
He used to hate all this unearned wealth
Now He just speaks through rich guys - the hell is this?
Jesus sold out, and I'm getting pissed
Remember when He defended the adulteress?
That was cool, but He's super into slut shame now
He used to speak to all us screw-ups
Now He's acting like He grew up
Because He's conforming to the status quo
Jesus sold out, so boycott His shows
Jesus, dude, what happened to You?
You cut Your hair and You wear J. Crew
Now You're a ventriloquist dummy for the man
You've changed too much for me to let it slide
And the eye of the needle must be pretty wide
'Cause those Converse You got cost a lot more than Your sandals
Oh, Mr. Nazareth's been acting like a big shot
Since that asshole Paul repackaged all His zines
We've all been feeling real neglected
Since the guy got resurrected
And He got a bunch of vapid mainstream fans
Jesus sold out, so fuck the Son of Man - Track Name: Democracy

Stand and feel your blood run cold
Do try not to let your face be seen
Here grand juries reconvene
We can't stand by and just do what we're told
Campaign teams repeat their lies of choice in government
Campaign teams repeat their lies of choice in government
And the protestors say, "This is what democracy looks like!"
And they'll vote Democratic this coming fall
Well, here we are, old friend
The revolution's been reduced to sound bites
Vote far-right or center-right
Or you can fight until the bitter end
The radio repeats its lies of choice in government
The radio repeats its lies of choice in government
And the protestors say, "This is what democracy looks like!"
And they'll vote Democratic this coming fall
And out come the riot cops
Spraying mace and wielding clubs
Dispatched by the Democratic mayors
