Traditions (Lyrics)

Traditions ring hollow, traditions ring true  Billions still following but they haven't got a clue  Turn a blind eye to the origins  Another time and place  Where meanings changed with religious trends and fucked up social ways  Indoctrination  Your path has been chosen  Indoctrination  Don't just blindly accept it  The need for power and the privilege to own another human being  A lifetime of holy matrimony  Symbolized by a ring  Prearranged and re-arranged  Prepare for life in these chains  Do you take this man to be your master?  "I don't" is not the answer  Reproductive slave machine is all this ritual was meant to mean  Do you take this woman to be your wife?  "I do", now sentence her to fucking life  Tradition hides lies, traditions hold truth  Do we really need this paper to show us the proof?  Do we really want to continue to give our daughters away?  In a stupid game that used to mean rape, torture and slavery  Rituals created for us in a day and a time  When we had no choice what we did with our bodies or lives  Bought and sold, they robbed us of all our pride  From birth they owned us until we died.
