THE BLOOD - Megalomania

From "Megalomania" EP - 1983

LYRICS:


The Pope says to the atheist in God's name I do swear
You're searching blindly in the dark for something that ain't there
The atheist says to the Pope there ain't no getting round it
You too were searching in the dark for nothing... but you found it

You're all right Jack, ain't gonna look back - megalomaniac

You tell us to give up our wealth to those who are without
To all yours third world victims with you famine and your drought
But tell me Johnny Paul my son, if I should make so bold
Why don't ya donate just one of your robes of silk and gold

You're all right Jack, ain't gonna look back - megalomaniac

Your churches plastered inside out with all that precious gear
Gear which if it was to be sold could dry many a tear
You tour the earth in costly wheels at times you stoop so low
To let some low scum kiss you hand at your mobile ego show

You're all right Jack, ain't gonna look back - megalomaniac

I never pretended to care about all those in need
I never tried to cover up I'm in it just for me
But someday they'll burn your temples down and strip your churches bare
And lynch you from the nearest tree... but I don't think that I'll care...

You're all right Jack, ain't gonna look back - megalomaniac

Pray to God man!
