lyrics

So what is original sin
Is it not making God into a token
For your using
A sanctified bruising

If Jesus came back to this land
He would only be crucified again
We were never told how you got your wings
And now you blame us
For believing in the dream

And I don’t wanna have your babies
And I don’t wanna make your money
You will never own my body
Here comes blood for the payment
I never took your name willingly
Now everywhere I go
You follow me

So I will bite the hand that feeds
Molars crush
Swallow, repeat
But still enjoy life’s great amenities
The wheels turn, bones split
And the marrow gleams

And I don’t wanna have your babies
And I don’t wanna make your money
You will never own my body
Here comes blood for the payment
I never took your name willingly
Now everywhere I go
You follow me

Bird of prey we are your bastards
Watch your baby eat its brother
Bird of prey we are your bastards
But you taught us to hunt
So you should fly a little faster

And I don’t wanna have your babies
And I don’t wanna make your money
You will never own my body
Here comes blood for the payment
I never took your name willingly
Now everywhere I go
You follow me
