Bad Religion - don't pray on me

Bad Religion - Don't Pray On Me/"Recipe For Hate" 1993
Lyrics:
A grizzly scene on my electron beam
Told a story about human rights
So all of King's horses and all of King's men
Had a riot for two days and nights
Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open
So the company asked him to quit
Now everybody's equal
Just don't measure it

Well, Hanson did it to Hester
And Mark David did it to John
And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn
But he did it to South Vietnam
For beauty and glory
For money, love, and country
Now everybody's doing it
Don't do that to me

A bitter debate and a feminine fate
Lie in tandem like two precious babes
While the former gets warmer, it's the latter that matters
Except on the nation's airwaves
And custodians of public opinion stay fat
After vainly discussing her rights
Lay hands off her body
It's not your fucking life

Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ
From turning every hungry stone into bread
And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted
When the innocent first born sons lay dead
Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative
Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea
Now everybody's praying
Don't pray on me

@cadrino20978 Um, what do you call your video San Andreas Crazy Glitch? "Insight" is an  amazing thing, you either have it or you don't. Don't worry, you'll never know what your missing :)

@Phoenixdark1 I'm not one to boast or compare myself to others. I realize that there will always be people who make more than I do and less than I do. I didn't mean to get into a comparison of wages, salaries, etc. I was just basically complaining that taxes are too high. There needs to be more control and accountability as to how our taxes are spent.

@milkmankennedy OK - my first few comments were jokes - and don't get me wrong, I like Bad Religion. I suppose I opened the window for others to send negative comments my way. I responded with garbage back. I acknowledge that not much will change - no matter who gets elected. But if Obama is re-elected, he will let the Bush tax cuts expire and your taxes and mine will go up by 3%. I hardly even vote. Anyhow - best of luck with your degree.

@braducsb2

Ummm.... I meant the amount I make in a month, total, is just a little more than what you pay in taxes, per month. So.... yeah

[milkmankennedy]

@braducsb2and as well, I don't exactly understand this tax code you're talking about. As far as I can tell, you explained that Democratic presidents piss you off because of taxes. I'd have to see your whole life in detail and evaluate it for myself. You seem to be an upper middle class southern Californian conservative. I'm a dirt-poor former factory worker in southern Ohio with no medical insurance, trying to make it through college and find work, while I freeze my ass off by the Ohio river

@braducsb2 basically, because you started this all off by having fun, you basically hindered my understanding of your points of view to a good degree. You started off by typing like this song is new and that you are tired of Bad Religion's "bullshit liberal agenda" and that you think they should be pro churuch and sing songs against the poor and homeless. You haven't exactly retracted yourself from the Sam Kinison humor far enough for me to understand fully where you're honestly coming from.
