I never wanted
I never needed
I never begged

And I never pleaded
To a god unknown
That I won't let in

Cos religion is business
And there's money in sin
You're blind and offended

When reality hurts
But I've never seen Jesus
Inside a church

And I've prayed
I won't pay to be saved
Buying a brief burst of heaven

Immaculate deceptions
Going on everyday
Still you follow the clowns

Who give the circus away
Reaching for somthing
That's never been felt

And they're tightening their grip
On your bible belt
Dead eye disciples

Who sin too deep
Jesus loves you
But his love don't come cheap

And you pray
Yeah, you pray to be saved
Buying a brief burst of heaven

I never wanted
I never needed
I never begged

And I never pleaded
Pained by beliefs
Of lies and deceit

When cash must be shown
To this god unknown
And we pray

We're too frightened to stray
Buying a brief burst of heaven
Jesus loves you

But I don't
Jesus loves you
But I don't

Jesus loves you
Kill your idols
Religion induced insanities

Pained by beliefs
Pained by beliefs
That I don't believe anymore
