john reuben – old as religion (keep the people excited) lyrics
it’s as old as religion
mind control manipulation
it’s as old as religion
self-righteousness narcissist
step up to the pulpit know how to market it
getting praise pedestal hold sway
like master like slave when you’re hungry for fame
and that power you crave is an unquenchable thirst
it only gets worse don’t give in to the urge
and i’d rather keep my soul than the cash
but if i can keep both along with the last laugh
no middle cl-ss 9-to-5 working man’s wage
you’re either blowing up or you’re not getting paid
and you can take that frustration all the way to the bank
there’s advertising dollars or the offering plate
profit for false prophets another day at the office
still want the vip still want the red carpet
behind a fog machine finger pointed up to heaven
all the glam and glitz to collect a check on the seventh
the people are excited
keep the people excited
adrenaline rushing fueled by adulation
use god’s name to justify your position
what man isn’t flawed what system isn’t human
religious bullies foolish obedience
what’s you allegiance sophisticated demons
lately i’ve been thinking different about the devil
careful who you follow we’re all vulnerable
that’s a tough pill to swallow hard to reconcile
some bridges worth torching some hands worth forcing
some shrines worth destroying some things are that important
formed in that image corrupted and bloated
you made the rules broke them then rewrote them
what’s your gospel find your disciples
everything crumbles everyone gets humbled
in the age of transparency we’ll all see
don’t be naive
it’s as old as religion
mind control manipulation
