The Who - Pure And Easy lyrics

You remember the lessons taught in your past?

And how old you were

Before you wondered how many were lies?

They tried to teach about the anti-Christ

They tried to teach that Christ was nice

Did they say anything about the terms?

That eternal life meant food for worms?

Don't die for their dead religion, dead religion, die

Please take my soul, and please control

But would you just please go?

I think it is about time

I wipe my ass with your holy book

God is dead and the Pope's a crook

A blackened heart you claim as pure

You're a plague but we're the cure

Dead religion, dead religion, die

I spit on the shit you prophesize

Your apocalypse, a pack of lies

Each generation says their time has come

Clutching at the thread of martyrdumb

Each generation says their time has come

Doomsday starts when we kill the sun

Die, martyr, die, and embrace your lonely martyrdom

What were you told?

That the streets would be paved with gold?

I got news for you... you are the road

Well, I know better Bub

God lives in a nuclear sub

Yeah, your religion is the greatest scam

Cause we're all dead and we're all damned

In the eyes of your dead religion
