Swinging Like Judas Lyrics


Preachers cheating people everywhere I look

Bleaching white the pages of a bloodstained book

Two thousand years of dogmatised hypocrisy

So now I think it's time we tried some new philosophy

I'm telling you!

They teach of peace and love, yet stoke the sulphurous pyres of war

Pray kiss this seal and glove, that stroke drug-money, gun and whore

Pious liars have all deceived us, bled the beggars - fed the choosers

Our prayers shall have been heeded, whence ye sinners swing like Judas

Swing!!!

Christian, Pagan, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh & Jew

Just face these fundamental facts I preach at you

We've a duty to the future not to self-destruct

We better learn to live as one or else this planet's fucked!

I'm telling you!

It suits the leader's needs, when we fight amongst ourselves

For their sacrilegious greed, we'll evoke such 'holy' hells

But just who'll give a damn, for your countless hours of prayer

When we face the fall of man, witness our children in despair?

Swing!!!

Priests incant and Mullahs sing, of Armageddons they would bring

Yet overlooked one vital thing, someday like Judas they could swing

Hearts and minds the hate infuses, none are winners - all now losers

Walk the path that Satan chooses, and in time you'll swing like Judas!

Swing!!!
