A Prophet-able Pay Day Lyrics

Have you wondered why when the prophets die the priesthood come along

And feel the urge to turn their words into religious songs

From wholly truths come vaulted roofs and rules they use to rule

The frightened mass of every class and many have been fooled

And Jesus bled or so they said because he spread his truth

That heaven is inside us all - your intuition's proof

But the ruling class want you to pass your power to their church

And sell control to find your soul and priests to help you search

And the more you're lost the more it costs to find your way back home

You may arrive in Mecca, Jerusalem or Rome

But there you'll find they're one of a kind just packaged different ways

Religious laws and Holy Wars to lead us all astray

For a prophet-able pay day

The Buddha sees on bended knees that stuff is just for show

And advocates Nirvana waits for those without ego

But the thought patrol then make their goal a thousand different ways

With effigies our eyes to please so we miss the point of what he says

And the more you're lost the more it costs to find your way back home

You may arrive in Mecca, Jerusalem or Rome

But there you'll find they're one of a kind just packaged different ways

Religious laws and Holy Wars to lead us all astray

For a prophet-able pay day

With words they fool and ridicule our ancient festivals

And build their might on ancient sites to spread their fear of hell

Their dogma knows no bounds and shows that we don't need some guy

In a Roman shack and a fish head hat to tell us how to buy

A passage when we die

To a dreamland in the sky

You can hear the prophets cry

Your answers are inside

And the more you're lost the more it costs to find your way back home

You may arrive in Mecca, Jerusalem or Rome

But there you'll find they're one of a kind just packaged different ways

Religious laws and Holy Wars to lead us all astray

For a prophet-able pay day

Yeah the more you're lost the more it costs to find your way back home

You may arrive in Mecca, Jerusalem or Rome

But there you'll find they're one of a kind just packaged different ways

Religious laws and Holy Wars to lead us all astray

For a prophet-able pay day

That's what I say
