john reuben – old as religion كلمات اغاني
there’s a chance to unite or a chance to divide
you could promote peace or choose to pick a fight
but hurling insults is just more ammunition
mouth full of anger hatred needs a champion
adrenaline rushing crush the competition
behind a fog machine with a finger pointed up to heaven
stand in front of millions fueled by adulation
this is where the gods stay this is where the gods play
get praise pedestal hold sway
like master like slave when you’re hungry for fame
and that power you crave is an unquenchable thirst
back down-to-earth to be the center of the universe
it’s the brightest narcissist
who find the art in it
create the chaos and know how to market it
loud getting louder
arrogant getting prouder
looking for a promotion and the position of power
profit for false prophets get the people excited
there’s a fire to be ignited so light it and take flight
step up to the pulpit what a beautiful disguise
even angels get jealous and crave the spotlight
that’s a tough pill to swallow when figuring out who to follow
one thing we’re good at is making ourselves idols
find your disciples, push your own gospel
then try to reconcile the root of all kinds of evil, well
kingdoms come and kingdoms crumble
everyone’s got a number everyone gets humbled
some bridges worth torching some hands worth forcing
some shrines worth destroying
some things are that important
formed in the image of the corrupted and bloated
american religious with a different set of motives
you made the rules broke them then rewrote them
and the spirit of the sovereign gets reduced to a slogan
it’s as old as religion
money power institution
mind control manipulation
and lately been thinking different about the devil
lately thinking different about the devil
obscured truth banner of righteousness
borrowed god’s name to justify your position
foolish obedience demands full submission
what man isn’t flawed? what system isn’t human?
celebrate the winners ignore the victims
no friends on the inside or victories to believe in
corporate crooks sophisticated demons
patriotic bullies pledge your allegiance
home of the elite land of the naive
we live in empires built on greed
justice only seems to be for the wealthy
in the age of transparency we’ll all see
pull back your skin to show you how thick it is
either be shaped by it or shape the consensus
politics and jesus never made much sense
maybe he was just a little too idealistic
it’s as old as religion
money power institution
mind control manipulation
and lately been thinking different about the devil
lately thinking different about the devil
