From the album Dumpster Generation.
A Billion Ernies are a ska/hardcore/(genre) band from Hemet, California. Their lyrics are heavy with political content and religious ideas. I am not a christian or a wobbly myself, but I agree passionately with most of this band's lyrics. They're amazing live and this is one of my favorite albums of recent years. Do yourself a favor and download this album for free from communityrecords.org While you're there check out bands like Brunt of It, The Flaming Tsunamis, Stuck Lucky, and Fatter Than Albert. then do all of those bands a favor by going to their shows and promoting for them. It takes a village.
Here's the lyrics because the lyrics are very important to the band:
LOOK AT YOU. YOU STILL BELIEVE IN THESE CHILDRENS STORIES? LOOK AT YOU. YOU LIVE SO CLEAN, LIFE MUST BE SO BORING. WELL, I AM HERE TO BE THE VOICE OF REASON. I AM HERE TO PROVE TO YOU WHY YOURE WRONG, BECAUSE ITS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD ANYWAY. LOOK AT YOU. YOU TRY SO HARD TO BE THE GOOD KID FOR THIS GOD THAT YOU SAY LOVES YOU. I DONT SEE HOW YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AROUND,AND SEE ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO SOON BE IN THE GROUND BECAUSE THEY ARE DISEASED OR STARVING. WHERE WAS GOD WHEN MY FATHER RAPED ME? ACCORDING TO YOU, HE HAS A PLAN,
THEREFORE IT MUST BE FOR MY OWN GOOD ANYWAY. AND YOU TALK OF SOME GREAT FUTURE, UNTIL YOUR DEATHBED, AND AS YOU DIE WELL ALL POINT OUR FINGERS AND LAUGH BECAUSE YOURE A FOOL. HOW COULD YOU EVER BELIEVE IN SUCH A LIE THAT WED LIVE FOREVER? WE ALL THOUGHT YOU WERE SUCH A CLEVER GUY. WE WILL DO AWAY WITH YOUR MORAL CODE, BECAUSE ITS FOR OUR OWN GOOD ANYWAY.
