Featured on the mix tape "ZEITGEIST!" (2014).

lyrics

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

He made a profit out of your naïveté
Because you mistook him for your king
You adorned him with a crown of thorns
And drank his blood to show you’ve mourned
Now you sell crucifixes and rosaries
Because you fell for his grandeur scheme
Mary and Joseph had a shared delusion
That their son would change everything

And he did
He turned this world from piss to shit
So he did
The stench of despair stays with your kids
And he did
He turned this world from piss to shit
So he did
The priests who preach of him touch your kids

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

His church profited out of your ignorance
And dogmatic shifts in religion
The state set to control the masses
So they invented faith to make you passive
Until they needed a reason to go to war
Then they pointed at god to settle the score
And said you could only be a patriot
If you made everyone else believe in him

And you did
You turned this world from piss to shit
So you did
You buried mankind in your ignorance
And you did
You turned this world from piss to shit
So you did
You buried mankind in a grave of religion

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

Jesus preached tolerance and peace
Not close-mindedness and bigotry
If he were alive today he’d be an atheist
With one look at what his religion did
Did you know Jesus Christ had dark skin?
He’s not the white prophet you think he is
He hailed from the Middle East
That place you’re bombing for oil money

In 2012 the Catholic Church spent over 170 billion dollars
Whereas only 3.4% of that money was used to aid the poor
The Catholic Church is probably the richest institution on the face of the planet
But we’ll never know their true scope because of non-disclosure laws
But to keep perspective of how wealthy they are, keep in mind
That companies like Apple and GM made 150 billion dollars in 2012
And to push this further, it would take approximately 170 billion dollars
To eradicate poverty twice over, so why don’t they do that?

They are only in it for themselves
(keep the richer rich, keep the poorer poor)
They are only in it for themselves
(keep the richer rich, keep the poorer poor)

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

Jesus Christ was a schizophrenic
He thought the voices in his head were god
A prophet speaking the grand delusion
Your son of god was flawed

I don’t have anything against the belief in a god
It’s this false concept of organized religion being your only path to salvation that I have a problem with
I mean, who says salvation has to come in the form of a prophet or a bible?
Why can’t it come in the form of daily acts of compassion between human beings
Instead of being so judgmental of those who think or feel differently than you
Why don’t we strive to understand what we have in common instead?
Working towards a common goal to end poverty and tyranny in all its forms
Is something that everyone no matter what race, creed, or culture can strive towards
True spirituality is enlightening, it is not bigoted, it doesn’t divide by class or creed
It knows others only as equals, not as lesser adjectives
We define our own moral code, not the other way around
