Stolen Cup

 
















Gonna re-write history
wanna make it all about me
My god is perfect, yours is wrong
your salvation takes too long
 On your knees or on your back
I'll absolve you for a Cadillac
 I can solve all life's mysteries
save your cash and give it all to me

From the first time we were taught
the winner only has to throw the biggest rock 
the lesson learned is dog eat dog 
to kill your brother in the name of god
it's a bitter taste that takes its toll
like a stolen cup full of broken souls... 

No cloven hooves or booze allowed
at the drive through window of the Sacred Cow
Those Golden Towers stand so fine
but you only get a cracker and a sip of wine
Some go hungry, some go bad
some take them with you when they go mad
The poor get poorer and children die
say a blessing on the corporate pie

From the first time we were taught
 the winner only has to throw the biggest rock
 the lesson learned is dog eat dog
 to kill your brother in the name of god
 it's a bitter taste that takes its toll
 like a stolen cup full of broken souls...  

Pick your winner, take a stand
 Teacher, Prophet, Son of Man You
put a lot of faith in what they say
 but what if they were here,
today Ain't got no job, ain't got no home
 he got no camera on a telephone
 If he told you to throw it all away 
would you listen to another word he say?

From the first time we were taught
 the winner only has to throw the biggest rock
 the lesson learned is dog eat dog
  to kill your brother in the name of god
 it's a bitter taste that takes its toll
 like a stolen cup full of broken souls...
