Greydon Square - Special Pleading lyrics

[Verse 1] Our kids should be reaching for the stars not ways to repent Why is the age to choose religion less than the age of consent? They knew to teach you when you were gullible “god is infallible” Even though deep down inside it wasn't as logical Lie after lie they told you – pathological You knew it didn't make any sense; it wasn't possible Another oxymoron; religious education Cla**es on unscientifically biased information If god gives you a brain but doesn't want you to think Your god of gaps is no answer, he's no missing link He's an abomination like catholic confirmation The lesson is not to question or rise above your station Bible cla**es catechisms and [?] schools Some generations will follow anyone, even fools Some claim to have the only truth; a monopoly But the most ridiculous thing religion tells to us is quite possibly: [Chorus] “Put your trust in me, I won't lead you wrong Just put your trust in me, how can you go wrong?” They keep telling us: “Just put your trust in us.” Keep telling us: “We won't lead you wrong.” They keep telling us: “Just put your trust in us.” Keep telling us… [Verse 2] Front line political warfare, I done been there They loan money into existence out of thin air Capitalism means f** you they're gonna get theirs Even if it means you die, they just sit there Freedom and justice for the wealthy Everybody else gets shafted and we think that this is healthy Still on the reserve we just roam for acres If you ain't white and middle cla** they'll need to see your papers Democrat and republican – the same party Rep the movement of the people, Fela Kuti's calling I think they only want to polarize sides to vocalize That'll change when we decide to mobilize But as long as there's money, then they can be bought As long as they're dummies they cannot be fought They only want you as a drone playing your part While the very leaders that mislead us stay the very same They keep teaching us: [Chorus] “Put your trust in me, I won't lead you wrong Just put your trust in me, how can you go wrong?” They keep telling us: “Just put your trust in us.” Keep telling us: “We won't lead you wrong.” They keep telling us: “Just put your trust in us.” Keep telling us… [Verse 3] The labels make you think it's fair game They've never been on the side of the artist from the start It's a sham game There's a war on for your damn brain And for the prize they throw everything at you; money and fame There's just some things money can't change So think about that before you go and sign your damn name You should run soon as you see them Remember, they need you more than you need them Forget em You can do this by your goddamn self They ask you to sign a deal tell em I can't help This is for independent artists everywhere Anyone who's been screwed by a label or [?] I suggest you boycott em forever to make it up No more flippin of our free expression to make a buck This is a moratorium on them enslaving us Raping us Yet after all we learn about how corrupt they are, they keep begging us: [Chorus] “Put your trust in me, I won't lead you wrong Just put your trust in me, how can you go wrong?” They keep telling us: “Just put your trust in us.” Keep telling us: “We won't lead you wrong.” They keep telling us: “Just put your trust in us.” Keep telling us…
