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
The soul of the dying man
Cops and Cathedrals
TV’s & 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
as 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?
