and did those feet in ancient times
G F# Em D B Em
trod on america’s pastures of green?
G F# Em C Em
and did that anthropocentric god wane
G F# Em D B Em
with their thoughts and beliefs all unseen?

( chorus )
G F# D Dsus4
i don’t think so ,
D Em C Em
he’s up there with the others lying low
G F# D Dsus4
vying with those
B
who you’ve traded your life to bless your soul .

( verse )
Em C Em
G F# Em C Em
and have they told you how to think
G F# Em D B Em
cleansed your mind of sepsis and autonomy?
G F# Em C Em
or have you escaped scrutiny
G F# Em D B Em
and regaled yourself with depravity?

( chorus )
G F# D Dsus4
now we all see
D Em C Em
religion is just synthetic frippery
G F# D Dsus4
unnecessary
B G F# Em
in our expanding global cultural efficiency .

( solo – the chords are the same as for the verse )

( chorus )
G F# D Dsus4
and don’t you fear
D Em C Em
this impasse we have built to our future?
G F# D Dsus4
ever so near ,
B
and oh so austere .

( outro ) ( same as the intro )
Em C C C
Em D B B
