"What now? The cross has been greased" - Greased, as in, prepared (like a tray for cooking), for Jesus' sacrifice (a la roasting). Basically this line seems to be saying that even though Jesus supposedly sacrificed himself for the greater good of humanity...Richard Patrick does not seem that greater good manifesting itself in the current situation of the world, especially post 9/11. Hence, God must "love to be cruel."
