I was raised on Jesus Christ
and I was told how he gave up his life.
As a child, I would pray at night
and I would swear, I felt protected by his holy light.

I believed in his holy book,
though I confess I never much gave it a look.
But I was told of the glorious stories within,
filled me full of hope, kept me safe
in a world full of sin
and I believed that this was the end of the world.
Yes I believed that this was the end of the world

I was born 1965,
in the united states,
the land of the immaculate lie.
And I have grown, to realize,
all that I looked forward to, wasn’t real,
it was false, it was part of the lie.

Like Santa Claus, Superman, Sacred Cross, Holy Lamb,
Satan and Peter Pan, Soul of the dying man,
Cops and Cathedrals, TV’s and Angels,
Serpents that speak and the garden of Eden.
Church and society, Alcohol, LSD,
Movie stars, Athletes, Politics and Charities.
Your preacher and confessor is a child molester
and they fall to his feet but he won’t turn the other cheek
And we were born with a crown of thorns
and nails through our hands and our feet.
While the earth consumes without empathy,
the bodies of all who believe.
Jesus Christ, tell me please,
we’ve only got one thing to pray.
Why give a life to human being
if you're just going to take it away...

I was raised on Jesus Christ
and I was told it was he who had given me life,
But the truth be known, I was an accident.
It wasn’t love or affection, or immaculate conception,
It was a beast with an erection
and a woman who bled on the sheets
and I realize, there’s one thing that’s waiting on me.
It isn’t heaven or hell,
It’s just a box and a veil
and a man in a suit that tells lies
as I’m lowered in the ground.
.. is this the end of the world?
.. Is this the end of the world?
