Muscle for Brains Lyrics
[Chorus]
Don't help me I can save myself
If I'm incomplete don't fill the gaps
Save me from the people who would save me from myself
They got muscle for brains
For reasons that are not mysterious
The weak are sent to the wall
They have reservations in heaven
Down here they're not so fashionable
[Chorus]
For reasons that are not mysterious
Morality's used as a tool
The poor are told to be contented
But in this life they've no choice at all
[Chorus]
For reasons that are not mysterious
The weak are sent to the wall
They have reservations in heaven
Down here they're not so fashionable
[Chorus]
Save me from the people who would save me from my sin
They got muscle for brains
Don't help me I can save myself
If I'm incomplete don't fill the gaps
Save me from the people who would save me from myself
They got muscle for brains
The weak are sent to the wall
They have reservations in heaven
Down here they're not so fashionable
Morality's used as a tool
The poor are told to be contented
But in this life they've no choice at all
The weak are sent to the wall
They have reservations in heaven
Down here they're not so fashionable
They got muscle for brains

Don't help me I can save myself If I'm incomplete don't fill the gaps (Each of us can find an authentic personal philosophy, without need to lazily glom onto someone else's dogma)
Save me from the people who would save me from myself. (There is little more terrifying than being cornered by soul winning evangelists.)
They have reservations in heaven ("The meek shall enherit...")
Down here they're not so fashionable (Nobody cares what you think unless you're rich)
Morality is used as a tool (What is called "morals" is really code for mores, which amounts to the poor "knowing their place".)
For reasons that are not mysterious The weak are sent to the wall (Prosperity theology considers those who are rich to be more righteous than those who are poor. The poor, are poor, because...they are not)
They got muscle for brains (You cannot have a rational discussion with anti-intellectual zealots)
excellent analysis !

Armchair Maoist art-students flirting with anti-Christian totalitarian thinking.
How enlightened and progressive can you get?
Great song even though I hate their agenda...
