Goddamned
Jay Brannan

I'm marching to Zion, a camera in my hand.nI hear people cryin', dyin' for this blood-stained land.nThe streets of old Jerusalem are lined with souvenirs and those buying them.nIt sounds cold but I cannot see how this theme park has shaped history.nn'Cause virgins don't have babiesnAnd water, it isn't winenAnd there's a holy spirit, maybenBut she would never rent a room with walls built by mankind.nMary and Mohammed are screaming through the cloudsnFor you to lay your goddamned arms downnRip your bigot roots up from the earth and salt the goddamned groundnnStand in line patiently to super-charge your rosarynOr stuff your prayers inside this wall.nWe once had God trapped in this great hallnBut we've been cast out from this placenThey say a prophet floated from here to outer space.nAm I crazy?nMaybe it's me, but this all sounds like mythology.nn'Cause virgins don't have babiesnAnd water, it isn't winenAnd there's a holy spirit, maybenBut she would never rent a room with walls built by mankindnMary and Mohammed are screaming through the cloudsnFor you to lay your goddamned arms downnRip your bigot roots up from the earth and salt the goddamned groundnnZeus was afraid of his girlfriend so he swallowed her in bednAnd he bore forth Athena when they cracked open his headnHer brother tried to rape her, Athena got awaynAnd when his seed hit the ground the grass gave birth that daynNow we all freely admit this story's clearly bullshitnNo one will lay down their life or start a war for itnSo throw your stones and praynYou'll be rewarded some daynI hope it all goes your waynBut something tells me no one's coming to save younNo one's coming to save you nNo one's coming to save younSave yourself nFrom turning earth into hellnnNo one's coming to save younNo one's coming to save younNo one's coming to save younNo one's coming to save younnMary and Mohammed are screaming through the cloudsnFor you to lay your goddamned arms downnRip your bigot roots up from the earth and salt the goddamned ground.
