Shallow Be Thy Game

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1. I was not created in the likeness of a fraud 
   Your hell is something scary
   I prefer a loving God 
   We are not the center of this funny universe 
   And what is worse,
   I do not serve in fear of such a curse 
   
2. Shallow be thy game two thousand years,
   look in the mirror 
   You play the game of shame
   and tell your people "Live in fear" 
   A rival to the way you see the bible let him be 
   I'm a threat to your survival
   and your control company 
   
R: You'll never burn me

   I will be your heretic, yeah 
   You can't contain me 
   I am the power free 
   Truth belongs to everybody 
   
3. To anyone who's listening,
   you're not born into sin 
   The guilt they try and give you,
   puke it in the nearest bin 
   Missionary madness sweep up culture with a broom 
   Trashing ancient ways is par for the course,
   it's fucking rude 
   
4. To think that you're above
   the laws of nature, what a joke 
   Oh, purple sashes feeding masses
   smoke on which to choke 
   Well, I might be a monkey
   when it comes to being holy 
   Fundamental hatred,
   get down on your knees and... 
   
R: You'll never burn me...
   
5. I was not created
   in the likeness of a fraud 
   Your hell is something scary
   I prefer a loving God 
   We are not the center
   of this funny universe 
   And what is worse,
   I do not serve in fear of such a...
