Bad Religion

hey brother christian with your high and mighty errand
your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word you're saying
hey sister bleeding heart with all of your compassion
your labors soothe the hurt but can't assuage temptation

hey man of science with your perfect rules of measure
can you improve this place with the data that you gather
hey mother mercy can your loins bear fruit forever?
is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?

I want to conquer the world
give all the idiots a brand new religion
put an end to poverty,uncleanliness and toil
promote equality in all of my decisions
with a quick wink of the eye and a god you must be joking.

hey mister diplomat with your worldly aspirations
did you see your children cry when you left them at the station?
hey moral soldier you've got righteous proclamation
and precious tomes to fuel your pulpy conflagrations
I want to conquer the world
give all the idiots a brand new religion
put an end to poverty,uncleanliness and toil
promote equality in all of my decisions

I want to conquer the world
expose the corporates and feed them to the children
I'll do away with air pollution
and then I'll save the whales
we'll have peace on earth
and global communion
