Jihad & Crusade

Holy war holy war
War most unholy
So much superstition
Too much bloodshed
You gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go away from me
So get away from me
Moses and Jesus,
Buddha and Mohammed,
Even you Confucius
And Zoroaster, too,
And all you Pagan Deities
Glorifying human sacrifice
And to tell the truth
It’s really all you Believers and Gospel interpreters
Who blame all the rest of us for your own blasphemies,
Not our avatars and sages.
The rest of y’all move away from us.
Y’all gotta go
Gotta go
Go go go
And leave my kids alone,
Leave my kids alone.
So begone
begone
Not to the stars beyond
But back to the past.
Forever.
