Hypocrites

i think it's about religious leaders manipulating people into paying money. They claim it's for God but then they blow it off in a bar or buy a new car -hence the song title.

The singer here is saying he would rather keep the money because the God of the religion is not his God.

I think this song is about religion and in somewhat about HEAD leaving the band

I certainly think it's inspired by Head's departure. However, I don't think it's totally aimed at Head, but more towards the hypocritical religous leaders.

Your messiah was never mine...

Your messiah was never mine...

Your messiah was never mine... Your messiah was never mine... Your messiah was never mine... Your messiah was never mine... Your messiah was never mine... Your messiah was never mine... Your messiah was never mine... Your messiah was never mine... HYPOCRITES!

Weeping rose of Jeremiah Drops of blood drip off your petals Representing all our tears In a ring of burning metal

HOW YOU GONNA BE, WHAT YOU GONNA SAY IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, WHO YOU GONNA PAY?

Sorcerers and sadists come To define the what and why People travel 'cross this Earth Over water, land, and sky

HOW YOU GONNA BE, WHAT YOU GONNA SAY IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, WHO YOU GONNA PAY?

Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates... stand by I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine

HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES Your messiah was never mine

Weeping rose of Jeremiah Purity unlike no other Offers hope to those who need it Don't forget care to thy brother

HOW YOU GONNA BE, WHAT YOU GONNA SAY IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, WHO YOU GONNA PAY?

Little old lady at home Writing out a check to send It's all the money that she owns She believes the world might end

HOW YOU GONNA BE, WHAT YOU GONNA SAY IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, WHO YOU GONNA PAY?

Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates... stand by I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine

HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES Your messiah was never mine

HYPOCRITES

Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates... goodbye I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine

HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES I'm gonna do it blind HYPOCRITES

HYPOCRITES

HYPOCRITES

F**king love this song.

I think what he's saying for that part with the **** is "bitches".

I think this song might be a little bit influenced by Head's leaving... but personalchaos_17 has a pretty good point as well.

i think jonathan itrying to tell head that hes been lead astray by the church, but then again i might be wrong...i love the song, im not religious,im agnostic and i agree that alot of the religious leaders are hypocrites, however some are truly devoted to what they believe in but thats the minorty

oh and i think the lyrics are a bit wrong

You don't need to go to church to consider yourself religious or a Christian, etc. Why? Well, if you take a look around you, alot of the people attending church are hypocrites. For example: On a Saturday night, you go to the bar, and cheat on your wife. Then on Sunday you go to church to ask to be forgiven, and then repeat the process again next week! Not only that, you try to preach to others the ways of your religion, and condem others when they to wrong. What you're doing is just as bad if not worse! What are you? A HYPOCRITE.

its drops of blood drip of your medals not petals

OnlyinDreams, I agree with a you to a point, but Jon Davis makes this out to look like everyone who is involved in religion a liar and such, which is part of the reason I dont liek this cd as much as the others, he points oput everyone elses faults when they used to point out his back in high school--HYPOCRITE
