Lyrics
No time for ya holyroller
No time for your religious fanaticism
For not a word you say
Your words hold no significance or truth
You've been singing it wrong for way too long
You've been misunderstanding or misrepresenting things for a prolonged period
Truth rising from the shadows
The truth is emerging from the darkness
Shines a light on your ways
It exposes and highlights your actions or behavior
Righteous pay under guise of god
Righteous actions under the pretense of serving God
Tell me another one man
Skepticism about the authenticity of your statements
Cite all the scripture you can
Recite as much religious scripture as you want
Sell me a meaning
Convince me of a meaningful purpose
This wheeling and dealing
Engaging in deceitful or manipulative activities
Aside from addiction is desperately all that you have
Apart from addiction, there is nothing substantial in your life
Hand to god you're walking dead
Serious consequences await you, as if sanctioned by God
Drive the nail and wipe the blood off from your hands
Committing a harmful act and trying to absolve oneself of guilt
Whatever helps you rest your head
Seeking solace or peace of mind through self-deception
Cast a stone and sing the sick your broken hymns
Judging and condemning others with hypocritical religious songs
And claim yourself the righteous man
Falsely portraying oneself as morally upright
Sing the psalms and all the verses that you can
Singing religious verses to justify one's actions
And pray that they hold up in place of your sins
Hoping that religious rituals can substitute for one's wrongdoing
You gotta let it go sometime
Encouraging the release or abandonment of misguided beliefs
Sometime
At some point in time
You probably should sleep tonight
Suggesting the need for sleep despite inner turmoil
Tonight
Specifically referring to tonight
So please my brother rest your eyes
Advising a fellow individual, possibly sarcastically, to find peace
Your eyes
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining composure or denial
You'll need your strength to live a lie
Surviving through falsehoods requires mental fortitude
No time for ya holyroller
No time for your hypocritical religious fervor
