Pisschrist Lyrics

Cover art for Pisschrist lyrics by Fear Factory

This song is about religious hypocrisy, especially prevalent in the United States. The message is basically, "how can you call yourself a Christian while waging 'preemptive' wars, raping alter boys, or ignoring the fact that America was built from the genocide and theft of native americans and their land". What is SOOO christian about YOUR ways or arent YOUR ways to be considered when you wave your GOD in my face. Why arent YOU a sinner.

For a less complex, and more accurate explanation: Fear Factory named this PISSCHRIST in honor of the criticism by "Christians" and other religious zealouts of the art portrayed with a Crucifix in a Jar of Piss that was on display at a museum somewhere in New York City. I forget the name of the artist, or the museum but that is the story, at least, behind the TITLE of the song.

Ultimately, it's for those people who'll sacrifice anything for their "saviour" - including sacrificing others who "they" believe are immoral, or out of compliance with their BABBLE.

This is one of the best.
