Lyrics > M - O > Nomeansno > Jesus Was A Terrorist
Jesus Was A Terrorist
(album: The Sky Is Falling, And I Want My Mommy [w/ Jello Biafra])
Jesus was a terrorist
Enemy of the state
That´s what the romans labeled him
So he was put to death
He died for his beliefs
What´s changed today?
Today bible-thumping cannibals
Reap money from his name
Buy cable networks & power
With old ladies´ checks
If jesus saw pat robertson
What do you think he´d say?
Tax-free they re-write our laws
And sick ´em on you
Women don´t control their bodies
TV preachers do
Censor everything from bathing suits
To science books
From the schoolroom to the bedroom
They want our thoughts - or else
They treat us like the romans
Used to treat the christians
Een some church going folks are scared
Modern catacombs of fear
Built with money, power and threats
Rock´n´roll is labeled porn
Sell a record, you´re under arrest
Instead of fighting aids
They try to stop us having sex
They brag that they won´t quit
Till they take dominion over our lives
Is freedom of speech such a terrorist act
Is spiritual peace such a satanic threat
Believe what you want
But we´ll fight to keep
Out heads from being cemented in your sand.
