If you're all gung-ho about god and being a good little religious person, then why not walk the walk and stop killing folks who disagree.

With a knack for biting commentary and eyebrow raising lyrics, Neil Conway is a fixture of the Newfoundland arts community. He is an events organizer, activist, and self proclaimed radical roots crooner. After growing up between rural Nova Scotia, Toronto and Montreal, Neil Conway hitch hiked to St. John's in 1998 and still can't get enough of the place. Since then he has had his fingers in many musical pies including his own solo project, The Somethin' Family, a hip-hop/funk/reggae group known as The Discounts, a reggae band called Skank as well as improvising with various groups. He has performed as a dancer/musician with Sara Stoker's Collective Gutsink and Lori Clark's Loose Confederacy. He has been a regular performer at Sound Symposium, Peace-a-Chord Arts and Social Justice Festival, as well as frequent trips to St. Pierre et Miquelon. His company, Funnerbunny Pro, is responsible for the annual Homegrown Dope Jam, The World Songwrestling Federation, the Heckle Me Awards Show, terminus1525.ca's Seagull Sideshow and regular events in various St. John's venues. He lives to dance and laugh and would like to see more people doing it.

Story behind the song
I just hear about people dieing for their belief way too much and I figured that if you assumed that god existed -then you'd think he wouldn't aprove of all this madness in his name. But seein as how there ain't no man on the moon, the whole process becomes even more pointless and unexceptable.
Lyrics
Give God a Break Ricky got riled up about the middle east Upset by sights and sounds on CNN They kept sayin' how them Muslims hated freedom Wasn't no one takin' that away from him Why he could be attacked at any moment By missiles armed with anthrax, uranium or box cutters So he signed up, boot camp I said wait Give god a break He's got a lot on his plate So give him a rest from your war and your hate Ya cut him some slack and give a little bit back He could use a helpin' hand and a paper bag snack Oh he's really got it hard You're all stirred up got 'em workin' extra shifts Droppin' daddy's name, gettin' what you want Now his desk is swamped with orders for new gifts So he hired some angels when keepin' up with runnin' things got hard He gets an excess of requests, apologies and the occasional get well card So give god a break... Again with the apologies? Would you just get up off of your knees Instead of asking him to forgive you Why not do the ol' guy a favor and lay off the killin' Thou shalt not shoot on sight If he's your official invisible mascot you could at least have got that one right So give god a break...
