This is the legend of a great mistake
The blinding drug many people take
A blunder so grave
It hides, and it prays

This is the master of most of your souls
It pulls and it yanks
And it creates false goals

This screw-up is mighty
It has poisoned you minds
Don’t believe its lies,
You’ve heard oh, so many times

This virus is spreading
And has been for sometime
Its claimed many lives
Just ask the Indians, the few that survived

It has many names
And even more faces
It’s all different colors
And there is even one for almost all races

It frowns upon an exotic dancer
While claiming it can cure testicular cancer

Is there truly a tall man who lives on a moon?
That created our earth
With his fork and his spoon?

It limits our progress
It shuts science out
For that is for intellectuals
Who just may figure “it” out

It tells you to vote right
When you should know that it’s wrong
It used its might
To pull good ole’ George W along

It’s not peaceful
It uses guns and bombs
It has waged many wars
And took kids from their moms

It cannot be stopped
This deep-rooted lie
As long as it lives
People will die

Religion is strong
And it is smart
It is the ruler of our earth
And its gone straight to your heart
