This is the latest installment in the Songs of Sacrilege series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a song that is irreverent towards religion, makes fun of religion, pokes fun at sincerely held religious beliefs, or challenges the firmly held religious beliefs of others, please send me an email.
Today’s Song of Sacrilege is God is Not Great by George Hrab.
Lyrics
god is not great, not from where I stand
this 21st century man can,
tend to get irate / I rate, on a scale from one to one
less than some, it’s no fun, pounding my fists at the gate
god is not great, I’ll plainly state, it’s not to late, maybe it is
god’s way to mean, for all the power he’s got apparently it’s a lot I
find it all obscene / seen quite enough of this bad play,
yet they stay, day after day, less logic more latrine
god’s way to mean, I’ll calmly scream, and cause a scene
and in a way, it’s a shame, that some folks would remain
in a box, and ignore, what they say he made us for
god’s no ‘of course’, he’s had enough of a chance
a new song needs a new dance, I’ll scream until I’m hoarse/horse
race is lost but jockeys whip, though their grip
starts to slip, never questioning the source
god’s no of course, Christian or Norse, Sauron or Force,
to me it’s all the same- god is not great.
