Soul Asylum - Religiavision lyrics

Nail myself way up high and
I'm gonna die for you
The mother offers up the child to
The preaching of channel two

The empires rise and the babies cry
When is the lesson to be learned
And all I hear is the commercials and
Now the crosses are gonna burn

Now I ain't gonna be the cure
To wash away your sins
Why so the children have to pay for
The poor planning that you did

No matter how loud you scream and cry
You're gonna be sentenced to suffer
You married your life and you
Married you wife and
Now you're gonna have to learn to love her
But can you love her?
I like to watch religious TV
What you get is not
What you see religiovision

Save me my dear goddamned
Lord, won't you please, take me hand
Lead me to your sweet
Salvation in McDonald's land

I was born a wild beautiful baby but you
Tried to tell me what to be
Can you love your children knowing
You must set them free
