Hypocrites on Earth
Hypocrites on Earth (11/13/2005)
You agonize over the way we pray
Sympathize with no one, no fucking way
But we are all one of God’s children
So at least we think you say
Let’s pull the curtain and reveal the truth
We are all created the same way
Save no one ’til you recognize their faith
Before we go so, god damn, we are insane
Pray
I won’t lie, I want you all to die
Pray
I don’t mind, now give me wings to fly
And save me from the…
Hypocrites on earth, the hyprocrites on earth
We are all the…
Hypocrites on earth, the hypocrites on earth
Leave me here while you go and bless yourself
The water scalds my forehead, anyway
So bend your knee and pray for all to see
The world is watching, make us all believe
Now lay your hands and bow down in gratitude
We worship one but you’re right in every way
The lines that split and divide our servitude
Save your parents before it’s too late
Pray
I won’t lie, I want you all to die
Pray
I don’t mind, now give me wings to fly
And save me from the…
Hypocrites on earth, the hyprocrites on earth
We are all the…
Hypocrites on earth, the hypocrites on earth
But what is it about me?
Why can’t you just agree?
Respect all our beliefs
We’re all on bended knee
We’re all on bended…
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
And save me from the…
Hypocrites on earth, the hyprocrites on earth
We are all the…
Hypocrites on earth, the hypocrites on earth
Bow down before me
Get down on your knees
Respect the world’s beliefs
Notes: I decided to experiment and go with a System of a Down/Old School Korn styling with this one. They verses are sung slowly and melodically, while the chorus starts interweaves fast screaming with slow melody (two single lines before hypocrites on earth). It’s something different from me and was pretty cool to write. About the meaning, it’s about the people who love God and cherish God and yet can’t find an understanding and respect for the beliefs of others. You’d be shocked as hell if you knew who inspired this one.
