"My God" lyrics

"My God"

People on the street they wanna find a god they'll never know
Organized religion pulls the blinds then they pull the wool
They open up your head, they're fucking with your mind
Now you can't see because you're blind

You try to make amends but your head's still spinning 'round
The church of Jesus Christ said it's time, don't fuck around
You wanna go to heaven, you see it isn't free, give your money up to me

My god is not the one that you wanna see, your god is a mirage
A conspiracy, you pray for forgiveness 'cause you're sinning
Scared to death so your money you'll be giving
Yeah

Holier than thou with your one-way morality
I think your shallow faith isn't based in reality
You don't like how we live, we're sinful and obscene
Why are you judging me?
You're richer than God but you're crying out for more
You're living like a king while you steal from the poor
You wanna be forgiven, get on your knees and pray
Send in your cash and be saved

My god is not the one that you wanna see
Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy
You pray for forgiveness 'cause you're sinning
Scared to death so your money you'll be giving
Yeah, better hope you've been chosen to be saved

'Cause your empathy only goes so far today
Pay no mind to those in pain
They just want the souls
Who are willing to pay
Their way, your god's not for me

My god is not the one that you wanna see
Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy
You pray for forgiveness 'cause you're sinning
Scared to death so your money you'll be giving

Yeah, my god is not the one that you wanna see
Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy
You pray for forgiveness 'cause your sinning
Scared to death so your money you'll be giving
Yeah, stop
