lyrics

They told ya stories of a vengeful, loving god
Dogma! Dogma!
Everything you do is wrong

And within steeples people pick apart your flaws
Hush little baby, don't you cry,
Mama's gonna buy you an afterlife

They tell you stories that they use to scare their kids
I've got three eyes! I've got three eyes!
I know everything you did

When it gets tough they give you drugs and call it quits
Hush little baby, don't you fret,
Daddy's gonna write us an alimony check

I'm going down the chimney,
I'm headed underground,
To a place where my body won't be found
I won't try to get to heaven
I know I'm not allowed

They tell you stories about strength, and skill, and pride
Left, Right, Left, Right, Left!
I feel so dead inside

They give you orders, but they don't care if you die
Hush little baby, don't be sad
Mama's been shopping for a bran-new dad

I don't know where they'll send me
I've locked eyes with the devil's friends
I don't think I'll be coming home again
And I can't get into heaven
Cause I don't look like I'm one of them
