about

Powerhouse rocker with great guitar riffs and almost "Rush-like" drums and bass. Cheeky, but awesome

lyrics

Jesus Has to Kill You

Because of all the things you are
Like the way you cut your hair
And the look that’s in your eyes
And the fashions that you wear
Because you like to stay out late
Chillin’ out and actin’ cool
Play Nintendo in your room
Be yourself, trash all the rules
And because you rush like lemmings
To the next outrageous thrill
Your mind don’t work for nothin’
I doubt it ever will

So for actin’ like humans do
For thinkin’ out of turn
For talkin’ like the Devil too
You’d better be prepared to burn
Cuz this here Bible says it’s true

Jesus has to kill you

As I look down upon you mortals
It brings a tear into my eye
So send your “seeds of faith” to my
Humble, white haired, TV PR guy
Cuz only through those prayer donations
That you must make to me
Can I give your worthless lives a little
Crass validity
Cuz you ain’t candidates for mercy
And you won’t get no late reprieve
It says here in this book that you deserve to die
Since the serpent fucked with Eve

So for actin’ like humans do
And thinkin’ out of turn
For talkin’ like the Devil too
You’d better be prepared to burn
Cuz this here Bible says it’s true

Jesus has to kill you

And it shall come to pass
That if thou will not harken the voice of the Lord thy God
To observe to all his statutes and his commandments
Which I have commanded thee this day
Then it shall come to pass that all these curses
Shall come upon thee and overtake thee
And the Lord shall smite thee with consumption
And with fever with inflammation
And with extreme burning
With the sword and with blasting
And he shall consume you till you perish
And he shall rule you with a rod of iron
And tread you in the wine press
Of the fierceness of the wrath of
Almighty God

There’s a lot of souls to save so send your money in.
Then say the magic prayer words or you won’t go to heav-in.

Cuz the Bible says it’s true
Gerry Falwell says it too
Ya this here Bible says it’s true

Jesus has to kill you.
