Shallow Be Thy Game - Red Hot Chili Peppers [Lyrics]

THE CONTENT, AS STATED IN VIDEO, OF THIS VIDEO BELONGS TO WMG MUSIC GROUP. NOT ME.

I was not created
In the likeness of a fraud
Your hell is something scary
I prefer a loving god
We are not the center
Of this funny universe
And what is something worse
I do not serve
In fear of such a curse

Shallow be thy game
2000 years look in the mirror
You play the game of shame
And tell your people live in fear

A rival to the way you see
The bible let him be
I'm a threat to your survival
And your control company

Chorus :
You'll never burn me
You'll never burn me
I will be your heretic, yeah
You can't contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody

To anyone who's listenin'
You're not born into sin
The guilt they try and give you
Puke it in the nearest bin

Missionary maddness
Sweep up culture with a broom
Trashing ancient ways
Is par for the course
It's fucking rude

To think that you're above
The laws of nature what a joke
Purple sasfies feeding masses
Smoke on which to choke

I might be a monkey
When it comes to being holy
Fundamental hatred
Get down on your knees and..

You'll never burn me
You'll never burn me
I will be your heretic, yeah
You can't contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody

You'll never burn me
You'll never burn me
I will be your heretic, yeah
You can't contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody

This song flat out fucking ROCKS!!! Kiedis wrote some of his best lyrics & Navarro & Flea tore this shit up!!

All the Frusciante fans need to chill the fuck out, One Hot Minute is one bad ass record!!

[drummerkid1993]

Best song for an atheistic peppers fan ;)

[lolippi]

The lyrics are very very true

[Grapedrinkplease]

I can't like this album as a REAL Peppers fan because this album is everything the Peppers are not. It is an album with some really good songs, but it does not have the good energy and fun a chili pepper album would have. This song is just preachy which the Peppers are not.

john frusciante's fans can suck my dick, this song and this album fucking rock!!! i love john too but men u can't say that this is not good

[Numonkei]

@LightEmUp1 Yessir, I personally think it to be their best record...even if Navarro went on to make a reality show about tattoos...:-/

[EminencePhront]

Easily the best post-BSSM song.

[markayoral]

why do many say this album was bad...but the first time i heard the songs in this album i liked it..i like and love all RHCP's albums..they are all great. i think we should thank Dave for sharing his music to the best band in the universe!

[idontknowwhattomakem]

Religion is pointless and stupid and doesnt make any sense and what are we ever going to get out of it.

[LOVEtheRHCP]

@LOVEtheRHCP i wanted them 2 b in the video :PP

[LOVEtheRHCP]

ummmm, wheres the lyrics?? :P

janes addiction was very similar to the peppers back in the day. thts why navarro somewhat worked, its just heavier. Klinghoffer sounds like he'd rather be in radiohead
