Thinning the Herd (Lyrics)

Force-fed into believing what's right You're stripped of a soul and you're ready to fold Follow them and they'll show you the light You're already sold on what you've been told They're telling you what they want you to hear It all makes sense but there's something unclear They suck you in while they thin out the herd And now you're losing confidence Redefining trust Is something that's left up to us What you're getting in return Is losing what you've earned All your life you've lived by the book Take a step back to take another look Contradictions left and right You keep it next to your bed to help you go to sleep at night They're telling you what they want you to hear It all makes sense but there's something unclear They suck you in while they thin out the herd And now you're losing confidence So what would Jesus do? If you gave him a gun, would he kill if he had to? In his defence, you'd kill and fight But what gave you the right? You're thinning out the herd You're so caught up in this religious haze Dismissing the gays and the devil made AIDS Religious racists want others to fall If I could choose a god, he'd believe in us all They're telling you what they want you to hear It all makes sense but there's something unclear They suck you in while they thin out the herd And now you're losing confidence Redefining trust Is something that's left up to us What you're getting in return Is losing what you've earned You're stripped of a soul and you're ready to fold Already been sold on thinning out the herd
