Green Day > Songs > East Jesus Nowhere > Lyrics


    Raise your hands now to testify
    Your confession will be crucified
    You're a sacrificial suicide
    Like a dog that's been sodomized, well
    (Stand up!) All the white boys
    (Sit down!) And the black girls
    (Stand up!) You're the soldiers
    (Sit down!) Of the new world

    Put your faith in a miracle
    And it's non-denominational
    Join the choir, we'll be singing
    In the church of wishful thinking

    A fire burns today
    Of blasphemy and genocide
    The sirens of decay
    Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

    Oh, bless me, Lord, for I have sinned
    It's been a lifetime since I last confessed
    I threw my crutches in "the river of a shadow of doubt"
    And I'll be dressed up in my Sunday best

    Say a prayer for the family
    Drop a coin for humanity
    Ain't this uniform so flattering?
    I never asked you a goddamn thing!

    A fire burns today
    Of blasphemy and genocide
    The sirens of decay
    Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

    Don't test me
    Second-guess me
    Protest me
    You will disappear

    I want to know who's allowed to breed
    All the dogs who never learned to read
    The missionary politicians
    And the cops of the new religion!

    A fire burns today
    Of blasphemy and genocide
    The sirens of decay
    Will infiltrate the inside

    Yeah!
