Unfortunate Son

from A Finer World by Spiderlegs

/

lyrics

This is not what anyone wants
It’s not what anyone needs
It’s not what anyone sane
Would ever buy into or believe

The end is nigh
No
It already happened thousands of years ago
A story cobbled from almost
every story That came before it

See, it’s harmful mythology
Based on fear, sold as love
We burn in hell because god wants us to
Because god loves us, right?

This is control, pure and simple
You’re not a god
You’re just a symbol
Nailed to your martyrdom
The unfortunate son


2.

Have you ever read your Bible?
Or just had it preached at you
All of that sick stuff in it
Aren’t you glad it’s not really true

The end is nigh
No
It already happened in AD 69
One story chosen of all the 28 versions
written to scare you

See, it’s torture porn philosophy
Based on fear, sold as love
We burn in hell because god loves us
Because god wants us to burn in hell

This is control, pure and simple
You’re not a god
You’re just a symbol
Nailed to your martyrdom
The unfortunate son


Am I safe
If I’m not saved


3.

This is not what anyone wants
It’s not what anyone needs
It’s not what anyone sane
Would ever buy into or believe

The end is nigh
No
It already happened thousands of years ago
A story cobbled from almost every story
That came before it

See, it’s torture porn philosophy
Based on fear, sold as love
We burn in hell Because god loves us
because god wants us to burn

Based on fear, sold as love
We burn in hell because god wants us to
Because god loves us

This is control, pure and simple
You’re not a god
You’re just a symbol
Nailed to your martyrdom
The unfortunate son
