 Raise your hands now to testify
 Your confessions will be crucified
 You're a sacrificial suicide
 Like a dog that's been sodomized
tand up!]  all the white boys
Sit down!]  all the black girls
 You're the soldiers
 of the new world
 Put your faith in a miracle
 And it's non-denominational
 Join the choir we will be singing
 In the church of wishful  thinking
 A fire  burns today
 Of blasphemy  and genocide
 The sirens  of decay
 Will infiltrate  the faith fanatics

 Oh bless me lord  for I have sinned
 It's been a lifetime  since I last  confessed
 I threw my crutches  in "the river
 Of a shadow of doubt"
 pause
  And I'll be dressed in my Sunday best
 Say a prayer for the family
 Drop a coin for humanity
 Ain't this uniform so flattering?
 I never asked you a god  damned thing
