Happy Easter to all, and to all a good fright. The following is a paean to Christian hypocrisy and to how people manipulate notions of god for their own ends: all copyright 1996 by Chrysalis Records
In the beginning man created god; and in the image of man created he him.
And man gave unto god a multitude of names; that he might be lord over all the earth when it it was suitable to man.
And on the seven millionth day man rested and did lean heavily on his god and saw that it was good.
And man formed Aqualung of the dust of the ground, and a host of others likened to his kind.
And these lesser men man did cast into the void. And some were burned; and some were put apart from their kind.
And man became the god that he had created and with his miracles did rule over all the earth.
But as these things did come to pass, the spirit that did cause man to create his god lived on within all men; even within Aqualung.
And man saw it not. But for Christ's sake he'd better start looking.
Hymn 43
Our father high in heaven - smile down upon your son, who's busy with his money games - his women and his gun.
O Jesus save me!
And the unsung Western hero, killed an Indian or three, and then made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free.
O Jesus save me!
If Jesus saves - well, he better save himself from the gory glory seekers who use his name in death.
O Jesus save me!
Well, I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon - his cross was rather bloody and he could hardly roll his stone.
O Jesus save me.
