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
