In Dog We Trust
In Dog We Trust: Unveiling Rebellion and Heresy in Reagan Youth's Anthem
Lyrics
Inquisition says we'll burn in hell
Inquisition warns of punishment in hell for the speaker
Damnation for the infidel
Condemnation for those who don't follow the established beliefs
Gonna start and spread some heresy?
Questioning the system and suggesting spreading heretical ideas
Ya' gotta expect a certain misery
Anticipating inevitable suffering for going against the norm
They're gonna make it really interesting
Expectation of a challenging and possibly dangerous situation
They're gonna go and teach democracy
Predicting an attempt to impose democracy forcefully
Whatever God that could exterminate
Referring to a deity with destructive power
Whatever God that can't tolerate
Referring to a god intolerant of dissenting views
In dog we trust [4x]
Repetition emphasizing trust in a humorous way
In dog we trust
Reiteration of trust in a dog, contrasting with the next lines
In God you trust
Contrast between trusting in a dog and conventional trust in God
In God you trust
Highlighting the common expression of trust in God
In God you lust
Playful alteration, changing 'trust' to 'lust' in reference to God
God damn you
An expression of frustration or anger towards God
God damn me
Personal acceptance of damnation
God damn who?
Questioning the target of divine condemnation
