cross, above my body. Christ forgive. FORGIVE? I vomit for you
Jesu. Shit forgive. Down from your cross. Down from your papal
heights, from that churlish suicide petulant child. Down from
those pious heights, royal flag bearer, goat, billy. I vomit for you.
Forgive? Shit he forgives. He hangs in crucified delight nailed to
the extent of his vision, his cross, his manhood, violence, guilt,
sin. He would nail my body upon his cross, suicide visionary,
death reveller, rake, rapist, lifefucker, Jesu, earthmover Christus,
gravedigger, you dug the graves of Auschwitz, the soil of
Treblinka is your guilt, your sin, master, master of gore, enigma.
You carry the standard of your oppression. Enola is your gaiety.
The bodies of Hiroshima are your delight the nails are your only
trinity, hold them in your corpsey gracelessness, the image I
have had to suffer. The cross is the virgin body of womanhood
that you defile. You nail yourself to your own sin. Lame arse Jesus
calls me sister there are no words for my contempt, every
woman is a cross in his filthy theology, his arrogant delight. He
turns his back upon me in his fear, he dare not face me.
Fearfucker. Share nothing you Christ, sterile, impotent, fucklove
prophet of death. You are the ultimate pornography, in your
cuntfear, cockfear, manfear, womanfear, unfair warfare, warfare,
warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare.

...because anarchy has nothing to do with politics?
you're an idiot.

fuckin a, kick ass song

I love this song! It's awesome. "Kick ass" is right!

This has to be one of the best lyric/poem pieces I have ever read. Fucking brilliant.

very powerful poem.. one of the best from Crass

These lyrics are just awesome. I sense a strong dislike of organized religion. and perhaps christinaity as a whole.

eve libertine truly is fucking masterful. nothing more needs to be said.

You knew this was originally taken away from the album -cencured by the pressing plant and replaced with "the sound of free speach", 2 minutes of nothing but the needle scraping against the wax...
Didn't he write the book five years later? Whatever.

no. he wrote the book before the band even started. this song actually inspired steve to write "so what" immediately after he read it. it talks about it in penny's audobiography.
