Praise Song​/​Rewind

about

originally written for Schaeffermusic

my pop song

I hate the idea of corporate praise

I hate the empty gesture of people raising their hands to Heaven during a particularly empty passage of no worth other than "the music sounds good so it must be God calling for me to touch his face"

I hate the Religious Right's reluctance to take on ecological stewardship in hopes that Jesus will patch up that boo-boo ozone layer in the sky

lyrics

This is a praise song
how do I begin?
compare Your love to something
stereotypically majestic
some people in the front row
raise their hands to Heaven
but enough of the phenomena
all I want is You

who gives a damn about the world?
let's leave it in disrepair
because Heaven's all that matters
everything else is malproper

"This is a praise song,"
people sing in corporate praise
saying tired proverbs and clichés
as if God has no ear for talent
He probably has a catalog
of this feel-good bullshit
filed under, "why in the fuck
did I create humanity?"

who gives a damn about the world?
let's leave it in disrepair
because Heaven's all that matters
everything else is malproper

those liberal libtards trying to protect this
den of thieves from idle hands
they're worthless, worthless - all God wants
is 2281 to happen
He's nothing more than a Bethesda nut
and frankly, we should be too
with images of the bloody Christ
shooting up through our fucking veins

I give a damn about the world!
I can't leave it in disrepair
Heaven's never mattered
everything else is proper

please give a damn about the world!
can't leave it in disrepair!
Heaven never fucking mattered
it doesn't exist at all
it's just a state of mind!
