Holier Than Thou Lyrics

No more!
The crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven’t changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don’t you worry about yourself instead?

Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
Gossip burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not

Before you judge me, take a look at you
Can’t you find something better to do?
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

It’s not who you are, it’s who you know
Others’ lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges and build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not

it's about religious people who think they're so bloody perfect... im christian but not religious like that... i know i'm certainly not perfect, but i love this song coz people like that who think they're so much holier than me and can't mind their own business really shit me off. like people who always take the bible out of context. they think they know it so well, and are always like "do this, don't do that" in the name of God, and totally miss the whole concept of not judging others. that must really shit God off too. awesome song.

this song is making fu of christians....mostly of the stuck up christians who think they are better than others because they go to church 7 days a week.

you retarded m-f-r its not about christians and we dont go to church 7 days a week a-hole. its about people like u who put other people down and think that they are better than everyone else. christians are supposed to be humble not like you described them.

are you kidding, this song is totally about cristians, not the good ones, the bad ones who let it take over their lives and ignore the fact that god and jesus wouldnt want them to be greedy, feel the need to exploit their religion, and use their religion as an excuse to get away with things, i know a bad christian apart from a good one, i have many christian friends, some i question, but the others i know arent going to be like that when they grow up.

There is no such thing as a bad christian of the sort you described. Those people are not christians. They pretend to be. No trolling please.

this song is about the people that said metallica was satanic and this is how metallica responded.

I'm strongly convinced that religious people plan to wipe every genre of music off the earth until nothing is left but Christian.

I love Metallica and the reason that they created it.

Look, man...It's about a guy who's "Holier than thou." It's a pretty common term. When you're holier than tough, you act like you're better and holier than most people. It has a lot to do with pride.

Two words: Double meaning. It probably is directed both at fundies and other religious extremists AND snobs

An error occured.

The could be about people who say one thing and do another, hypocrites in other words.

It could also be about gossip or rumors or even just about critics.

An error occured.

About people who just have no life so other people's lives have to be part of their own and they have to spread rumors.

An error occured.

but thats just my opinion

Your opinion is also a very ignorant, uninformed one based on cheap cliches that aren't even true

Some of the stuff he says IS true. But those people arent real christians. Theyre more like the pharisees.

yea it has to have something to do with religious people, not just any hipocrites, otherwise hetfield wouldn't have used the word "holier". hey king nothing i am better than you cuz i am king of shit. hahahaha. um, sorry.

An error occured.

it's a graet song, i like it cuz it's fast. i never really thought about what it meant till i actually read the lyrics.
