give us yer money, and we will give you hope
and explanation for what you cant understand
cause yer to weak to cope
eat this bread and drink this wine
get full on our stories and drunk off our lies
so youre not left behind
and dont let yer children think for themselves
cause if they think freely they will wind up in hell
sex, drugs and violence all come from TV
its not the fury we create
for all the lies you bled on me (burn a church)
for forcing me to believe (burn a church)
for blocking up our eyes (burn a church)
im not scared to die (burn a church)
here is yer church and here is yer steeple
lets set it on fire and kill all the people
save them from the pain, when they find there is nothing to gain
from following the rest
knowledge and kerosene
we'll empty our flasks and kick through the ashes
and watch our fire gleam
so call and pledge all yer money and let jahova's witnesses into yer home
remember kids, god is dead, and jesus christ never saved anyone
and explanation for what you cant understand
cause yer to weak to cope
eat this bread and drink this wine
get full on our stories and drunk off our lies
so youre not left behind
and dont let yer children think for themselves
cause if they think freely they will wind up in hell
sex, drugs and violence all come from TV
its not the fury we create
for all the lies you bled on me (burn a church)
for forcing me to believe (burn a church)
for blocking up our eyes (burn a church)
im not scared to die (burn a church)
here is yer church and here is yer steeple
lets set it on fire and kill all the people
save them from the pain, when they find there is nothing to gain
from following the rest
knowledge and kerosene
we'll empty our flasks and kick through the ashes
and watch our fire gleam
so call and pledge all yer money and let jahova's witnesses into yer home
remember kids, god is dead, and jesus christ never saved anyone

First of all, the song never claims that Jehovah's witnesses don't believe in god, you're pulling that out of your ass. Second of all, while your church may not ask you for money, others do. Even if they don't literally "ask" for it, they put pressure on you to give. When a collection plate comes around and sits on your lap, and you put nothing in, I'd imagine you'd have a lot of eyes on you. I mean, it's called a "collection" plate, not a donation plate. Shit, I've taken friends to Al-anon meetings held in church basements where they would even say standardly off a piece of paper in the beginning "if this is your first time coming, it's on us. Next time we encourage you to donate" or something along those lines and then everyone one in the room puts money in a jar. A more productive way to get money would be a jar to the side without any oral mention of trying to get money, instead they naturally expect everyone to donate. Next, in "brainwashing" I could respond to that by mentioning the fact that I've rarely seen people going to church that weren't forced to go when they were little. Churches teach the same ideas they've been teaching for centuries, based on what the bible said, rarely changing to meet that of the standards of modern times. Also, the word "free" is very very vague, you can define it in a billion different contexts.
Although I don't entirely agree with any kind of over the top "kill this burn that" kind of thinking, i guess it would kind of lose it's effect saying "sit around and quietly oppose the church". Its a pretty decent song by a really good band
As for defining the song itsself, it's very simple, it's an anti-religious song. There's no need for any discussion.
have u ever talked to God or Jesus yourself?
how would u know christanity exist without talking to the men themselves?
"so call and pledge all yer money and let jahova's witnesses into yer home
BUT remember kids, god is dead, and jesus christ never saved anyone"
its saying you can do whatever you want, i.e. give your money to the church or talk to people who come to your door, but at the end of the day youre just wasting your time.
As for this song, i love it so much. The main riff is so cool and then the ska part comes in and I'm like "woah, cool, fuck yes," I particulary like the lines
"and dont let yer children think for themselves
cause if they think freely they will wind up in hell"
I would first like to ask how you came across No-Cash, they have a strong underground following, but for the most part are extremely unheard of. And since you seem to be a church going fellow, you wouldn't be into the similar fans nor should you have the need to look up bands that oppose your beliefs. I know I don't find myself going onto your "christcore" bands and talking shit on there about how you are all mindless retards, who are unable to think for themselves. But see that is the difference with you and I, you're beliefs tells you to preach bullshit while mine says to let people choose. Thus, making you a fucking douche bag. So to achmode i say fuck you
As a lyric in the No-Cash song "The Lucky Few" goes...
They say that we're all free/It never felt that way to me.
Theres a tonne of christian songs' lyrics on this website. Should I go to each one and complain about how each is wrong? Wonder why there isn't a bunch of Christians praising the song because they have their own faith and religion? And before they say anything I can justify it all by telling them to prove to me God exists?
You know what? Fuck you. This is exactly why people hate religious types like you, and what this song is about, because they stereotype. You came to these lyrics, unprovoked, feeling the need to cause arguements. I doubt you've ever even heard this song before. Please, find something better to do than complain about song lyrics that aren't to your taste.
