Disgusted by your weakness
You have no right to live
To know you is to hate you
But your life's yours to give
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!
I won't bow to something that I've never seen
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me
I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god
I've no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation
You think you have the answers to every last detail
In your eyes, you're the victor
In mine you've all but failed
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!
I won't bow to something that I've never seen
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me
I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god
I've no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation
Still I find salvation
Still I find salvation
You have no right to live
To know you is to hate you
But your life's yours to give
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!
I won't bow to something that I've never seen
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me
I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god
I've no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation
You think you have the answers to every last detail
In your eyes, you're the victor
In mine you've all but failed
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!
I won't bow to something that I've never seen
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me
I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god
I've no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation
Still I find salvation
Still I find salvation

I think this song is about the people who blindly follow their religions. Those people that eat up everything the church has to say without a second thought. It's not necessarily about religions shoving it down peoples throats, more about the people taking the shoving with a big fucking smile. Those people so close minded when it comes to pointing out the flaws in what they believe in, that they block it out and use the opposing opinion as a Frisbee/ something to aim at when they piss.
My take on Religion:
Pick one. Hear it out. Consider it. FORM YOUR OWN BELIEFS.
THINK FOR YOURSELVES DAMMIT!
This song is anti-RELIGION!! NOT anti-Christian! You're all just acting like a bunch of hatemongers.
you're fucknig retarded..
This song is catching way to much crap. Do I feel this song is anti-relgion...NO... I am a Christian and yet this song does not offend me. I dont think he is saying that relgion is bad. I believe that he is saying that some people are twisting the words of religious text in general to make it say what they want to. No matter who tells you somthing it will always be through how they take it.
and the song doesn't even have to be about christianity, it can be about any other religion. you people just chose christianity right away because apparently it's the cause of all the worlds problems and you people look for something to blame it on.how about you stop blaming the religion and start blaming the people that have highly skewed views of those opinions. again i'm a christian, you don't have to be, but we can still respect each other.
One: Christianity IS a religion. You can look it up...ANYWHERE and find that out. Faith is the ACT not the THING.
Two: You need to go back and read my first post cause I'm not including you in it. The problem is you're being just as confrontational.
Now that I've said that, my first point still stands. Everyone here is just hatemongering. Christianity ISNT the only religion in the world. It's not perfect but NIETHER are ISLAM and JUDAISM! They can be just as bad if not worse.
