Green Day - East Jesus Nowhere

"East Jesus Nowhere" lyrics

East Jesus Nowhere

Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
You’re a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that’s been sodomized
Stand up! - All the white boys
Sit down! - All the black girls
You’re the soldiers of the new world

Put your faith in miracle
And it’s non-denominational
Join the choir we will be singing
In the church of wishful thinking

A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Oh bless me lord for I have sinned
It’s been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in The River
Of a Shadow of Doubt
And i’ll be dressed in my Sunday best

Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Ain’t this uniform so flattering?
I never asked you a god damned thing!

A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Don’t test me
Second guess me
Protest me
You will disappear!

I want to know who’s allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read?
Missionary politicians
And the cops of a new religion?

A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside
