lyrics

Hooray for hypocrites!
for religious biases!
your pretentious smile is
a smack from the face.
I've got some external viruses
and personal alliances
you claim that my reliance is
completely astray...
no way.

I was a lonely Catholic boy in Philadelphia’s pit
filled up with students and with demons and with all of your bullshit
it was a Christian environment
with no sign of God in it
my brother was a prophet
when he told me to get out
right away.

Hooray for mission trips
that ruin relationships!
the African continent
needs you there today!
but I'm just as confident
that you're the type of protestant
who hoards all of her quarters
but is clearly made of nothing but cheap change.
I was a helpless, imbecilic little lover of you
and I was worthy of your pity in your Ivy League dorm room
but your eyes were wide
and I could tell you had not been crying
and you'd got better at lying
'cause you told me you didn't know what to say.

So come on!
invite me
to dwell in your lack of Christian hospitality!
So come on!
apologize!
and not in a minor third descending line
just try
and I’ll open my eyes
as if it were for the very first time!
and be blinded by the darkness

So hooray for blasphemy!
for orgasmic ecstasy
you find in god complexities
'cause you think you're saved
but if you really feared your God
you wouldn't know just what he wanted
there'd be whole parts of your body
that are not even worthy to pray.
You were a stubborn little girl inside a secular cult
with a cross and a label and techniques to feel guilt
but you're not thus victimized
and my feelings intensified
while I was feasting on my pride
so I'll just get out of your way.
