Cover art for Mutiny in Heaven lyrics by Birthday Party, The

Calling this a drug song is limited and overlooks the main themes of \'Mutiny in Heaven\'. The song\'s central message is the way that the idea of original sin in the Catholic Church makes children internalise guilt and ultimately self-loathing. The narrator rebels against the manipulation and control of the Church by becoming a drug user, fulfilling his Luciferian role of the song\'s title. If this is Heaven, then he\'s bailing out.
