Lyrics
Religion serves a purpose, this I realize
Recognizing the purpose of religion
But when they organize, is when they commit the crimes.
Highlighting crimes when religious groups organize
The crimes upon the weak, and the crimes upon the poor,
Addressing crimes against the weak and the poor
Spreading filthy money baskets under stained glass windows.
Depicting the collection of money in churches
And buckets full of water, are placed at the door,
Describing ritualistic practices like holy water at church entrances
And they call them holy; you get your moneys worth
Criticizing the commercialization of religion
What it's worth, oh I'll tell you what it's worth.
Questioning the actual worth of religious practices
Cause they go home rich, we go home to repent.
Pointing out disparity between religious leaders' wealth and believers' repentance
So let's stop feeding the rich, they've got enough to live.
Advocating to stop supporting the wealthy
Oh let's stop feeding the rich; they've got enough to live.
Reiterating the call to cease catering to the rich
I waste my time, another rhyme, or another page,
Expressing frustration or doubt about creative efforts
cause I won't be afraid and I can't be ashamed of my life,
Emphasizing refusal to be ashamed of personal life and mistakes
or my past mistakes.
Embracing past mistakes without fear or shame
Cause they go home rich; we go home to repent.
Repeating the disparity between religious leaders' wealth and believers' repentance
So let's stop feeding the rich, they've got enough to live.
Stressing the need to cease supporting the wealthy
Let's stop feeding the rich; they've got enough to live.
Reiterating the call to stop catering to the rich
Religion serves a purpose, this I realize,
Reiterating the recognition of religion's purpose
But when they organize, is when they commit the crimes.
Re-emphasizing crimes during religious organization
Crimes upon the weak, crimes upon the poor,
Readdressing crimes against the weak and the poor
Spreading filthy money baskets under stained glass windows.
Repeating the depiction of money collection in religious places
Buckets full of water are placed at the door and they call them holy
Reiterating ritualistic practices
you get your money's worth. What it's worth, oh I'll tell you what it's worth.
Reiterating criticism of the commercial aspect of religious practices
Oh let's stop feeding the rich; they've got enough to live.
Reinforcing the call to cease supporting the wealthy
Let's stop feeding the rich; they've got enough to live.
Reiterating the need to stop catering to the rich
Stop Feeding. Stop Feeding.
Repeating the imperative command to stop feeding the rich
Stop Feeding. Stop Feeding the Rich.
Reiterating the command to stop supporting the wealthy
