Motherjane - Soul Corporations lyrics

The cross maybe the ultimate metaphor For religion sold as a brand A sacrifice exchanged for the almighty dollar With the tacit blessings of the Vatican We all have guardians trading faith for power Businessmen by whom we swear Betraying everyone from Eshwar to Allah With their holy wars for market share We're losing our religions Entrusting our Gods To corporates that prostrate Before balance pawns Unsuspecting pawns Initiating brethren Into the oldest MLM to stalk our streets Behold the soul corporations The spiritual supermarts Dispensing salvation with a price tag Mocking the truth that resides in our hearts Paralysing the human conscience With practiced art And of the various hues of desecration This makes them the hardest to beat The unsure can't endure the liberation The pious don't discern the need And if there is a truth to be told Religion's just a shadow of god Illumined by thought and understanding... Sullied by the ambiguity of words
