A Call To Action (2002)

Lyrics:

Traditions ring hollow, traditions ring true 
Billions still following but they haven't got a clue 
Turn a blind eye to the origins 
Another time and place 
Where meanings changed with religious trends and fucked up social ways 
Indoctrination 
Your path has been chosen 
Indoctrination 
Don't just blindly accept it 
The need for power and the privilege to own another human being 
A lifetime of holy matrimony 
Symbolized by a ring 
Prearranged and re-arranged 
Prepare for life in these chains 
Do you take this man to be your master? 
"I don't" is not the answer 
Reproductive slave machine is all this ritual was meant to mean 
Do you take this woman to be your wife? 
"I do", now sentence her to fucking life 
Tradition hides lies, traditions hold truth 
Do we really need this paper to show us the proof? 
Do we really want to continue to give our daughters away? 
In a stupid game that used to mean rape, torture and slavery 
Rituals created for us in a day and a time 
When we had no choice what we did with our bodies or lives 
Bought and sold, they robbed us of all our pride 
From birth they owned us until we died.
