Lyric discussion by Hungryforalynchin

And how common was anti religion songs at the time too Static? Whatever, its a message that can't be expressed enough, especially these days, even if Christianity gets the brunt of it

The lyrics are a bit obvious sure, but the pulverizing round & round beat, the same chord sequence for 5 minutes straight & Rotten's priceless, jagged delivery- Its like he's conducting a sermon of his own,using repetition & sonic overkill to beat it into our thick, thick skulls. This coulda been a bitchin Pistols track

@Hungryforalynchin Lydon recently told an interviewer he wrote this one while he was in the Pistols but the rest of the band didn't go for it
