Consolation Prize

2.000 years of lies

2.000 years of promises and crimes
To keep the human race
Subjugated, tied up with a collar 'round its neck

And you follow their rules
You play the game of fools
You blindly trust what's written in that book
They promise you, Heaven, then threat you with hell
For how long will this farce go on again and again?

I need no consolation
I need no consolation prize
I need no condemnations
For the errors of my life

I do what I feel right
Don't need no sermons about how I should behave
I've already seen the light
You're preaching love but then you're spreading hate

And you follow their rules
You blinded bigot fool
You play the game that's written in that book
They promise you Heaven then threat you with hell
For how long will this farce go on again and again?

I need no consolation
I need no consolation prize
I need no condemnations
For the errors of my life

And no indoctrination
And no intimidations
No recriminations
I need no absolution at all
