                               D A E
Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
You're a sacrificial suicide
                                A D
Like a dog that's been sodomized,

E G E D E
(Stand up!) All the white boys
(Sit down!) And the black girls
(Stand up!) You're the soldiers
(Sit down!) Of the new world

 B                         D A B
Put your faith in a miracle
And it's non-denominational
Join the choir, we'll be singing
In the church of wishful thinking

Chorus:
E               G
A fire burns today
     A           C    B
Of blasphemy and genocide
     E           G
The sirens of decay
     A               C       B
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

E              G                B
Oh, bless me, Lord, for I have sinned
It's been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in
"the river of a shadow of doubt"
And I'll be dressed up in my Sunday best

Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Ain't this uniform so flattering?
I never asked you a goddamn thing!

Chorus:
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

E
Don't test me
Second-guess me
Protest me
You will disappear

I want to know who's allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
The missionary politicians
And the cops of the new religion!

Chorus:
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside
