Damned

by Twan - Aries

They preach the good word, with all the self-hate
I've never renounced my sexuality, to date
And what kind of person are you, to tell me this?
For me to be dead because I was, that's your wish?
I believe in God, said, I, that he's real
A bunch of idiotic men can tell you how he feels?
And I opened your bible and looked for the curse
And read each part of it, verse by damnable verse
You wrote what you said the word of God is
And my response to you is "mind your fuckin biz!"
You claim piousness, and worse, that God Hates Fags
but you beat the shit out of your wife and put your son in a bag
What kind of man are you, to take a book that's not yours
And use it to condemn everyone, even whores
You're a piss-poor human, an excuse for a man
On organized religion there should be a ban
But you'll get AIDS, said my less-than-loving sister
Haven't gotten it yet, replied the human blister
So he looked around and stood up, and tasted the wind
He pressed the button for exit, not send
You say "he can say all this stuff behind the screen" 
But I marched in 3 parades, so what you really mean?
Is that life isn't worth living, if you're flawed
your ignorance is a disease, on my brain it's gnawed
Your mind is a sieve, it leaks all but sap
You crashed and burned, and told me no words
And it spread its wings and flew away, the bird
REPENT! screamed the person that stood next to them
And I showed him manure, and compared it to him
COME INTO THE LIGHT! shouted the man on TV
And I glared at him with a rather savage glee
And I spoke back to him, though he couldn't hear
"God loves me, I have nothing to fear"
What makes you think that I'll fall into line
there are 70 different religions, I know at least 9
Your reasons for religion are mostly political
And yet you live a lie...what's the word? Hypocritical
Hypersexed, they scream, you can't love, they said
And I'm sure they drew others into the lie they fed
Make babies with women, procreate, said those
I wasn't really caring, til they said "you chose"
So I joined in the catcalls, and booed at the top
They stood and they watched, the undercover cop
They pulled me away before I went too far
Like to thank you all, my friends, wherever you are
I saw myself drawing down on the asses
Like wiccan witches at pitch-black masses
I regarded them all with contempt and spoke slowly
"You couldn't hold your water with me, you don't know me"
And we loved each other more then they did theirs
You'd see us on the street...in pairs
Hey, this is the world you want kids to see
To make your kids try to hate me
First crime is gay, second crime is black
There's no way you'll ever slide off that track
I'm damned if I do, triple damned if I sing
There will be one thing that I will bring
A piece de resistance, a word to the wise
Never give up the effort, you can always try
And it's criminally a shame, how you turn away your child
You people make me sick, you make me raise bile
Turn your back on love, to take solace in your book
Of you and a cat burglar I don't know who's the bigger crook. 
And soundlessly I turn: I look around and I froze
for it was well past time, to bring this to a close
The one thing that people, don't get that they're damned
for you still don't understand: Religion is a scam.
