Sport And Religion Lyrics

Cover art for Sport And Religion lyrics by Shihad

i imagine this song has several religious conetations, it seems to be mocking the way people believe you have to earn your way to heaven, or whatever. "who dug the trenches will reach the stars." and if you dont pay your penence you will go to hell. Shihad pose the question to us, is this an illusion? they liken the following of religion to that of a sports team, which i think means they are only talking about the fanatics who stand on street corners and preach about being devote and earning your way to heaven and renouncing your sins ect...."youve got to gie to take away"
