From one Jesus to another napalm can be a treat
|
Religion is only cold comfort 'cos Judas Iscariot was a cheat
|
Bullet holes in my mirror and a minefield across my floor
|
I don't want to be a soldier, don't want to fight someone else's war
|
I don't need no Hare Krishna
|
I don't need no primal scream
|
I don't need no mantra chant
|
I don't need no self esteem
|
|
I'll take to bed John the Walrus 'cos my Baudelaire has been pawned
|
Plagued by demons, deceived by angels
|
What little devils have we spawned?
|
And Buddha sits on my shelf shooting up Edgar allan Poe
|
And I'll dream in 'Forbidden Colours' just like Vincent van Gogh
|
I don't need no suit of armour
|
I don't need no sword and shield
|
I don't need no immortality
|
I don't need no Elysian fields
|
I don't need no lollipops or rainbows
|
I don't need no hare of the hound
|
I don't want to be mummy or daddy
|
I don't need no duty bound
|
|
It's bedlam just like Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse causes a scandal
|
Kahil Gibran was a junkyard and Genghis Khan was a vandal
|
And I fell in love with Marilyn Monroe and
|
Then Kennedy told me she'd died
|
And anyway, if it came to a choice, I'd take Mata Hari for my bride
|
I don't need no religion or faith
|
I don't need no collusion
|
I don't need no spiritual healing
|
I don't need no selfdelusion
|
And Jesus walks on water
|
But does he ever walk on air?
|
I'm getting lost again, mummy, scared again, daddy
|
And the beauty of it all is I no longer care.
