Story behind the song
"This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour on which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism."
- Gloria Steinem gives a speech about women having equal rights to men.
Lyrics
(1ST): TELEVANGELIST MAKING OUTRAGEOUS CLAIMS;PREACHERS HEALING THE SICK AND MAIMED.SEX ABUSE SCANDEL,VATICAN COVER-UP;ENOUGH OF THIS,I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.ANOTHER SHOOTING AT THE CLINIC TODAY;ANOTHER INJUSTICE IF YOU ARE GAY.IF YOU ADMIT NO FAITH,THEN YOU WILL BURN IN HELL;BUT BE BORN-AGAIN ON DEATH ROW,EVERYTHING IS SWELL.I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR ENEMY,I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND;BUT LET ME REITERATE SOMETHING TO YOU MY FRIEND.SOME BELIEFS REQUIRE DEDICATION AND STRONG WILL;OTHERS CELEBRATE LIFE OR MOTIVATE TO KILL.MOST BELIEFS ARE MADE UP,BUT A FEW ARE TRUE;LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF TO DECIDE WHICH ONE'S FOR YOU..........
(2ND): THESE SHARIA LAWS SEEM SO RIDICULOUS;UNEQUAL,AND ALITTLE TOO CONSPICUOUS.SO WAIT-IF A MUSLIM WOMAN HAS AN AFFAIR;SHE GETS STONED TO DEATH,AND HER MAN DON'T CARE?! OR....IF A HUNGRY CHILD STEALS FOOD 'CAUSE HE'S POOR AND DYING;HE GETS HIS HAND CUT OFF,OR,CAINED A DOZEN TIMES?!.BUT,A MAN CAN HAVE A HAREM OF 20 WOMEN;BE GLUTEN,TAKES MONEY AND NEVER GIVES IT.THAT JUST SEEMS UNFAIR TO ME;WHERE'S THE COMMON SENSE AND THE LIBERTY.I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR ENEMY,I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND;BUT LET ME REITERATE SOMETHING TO YOU MY FRIEND.SOME BELIEFS REQUIRE DEDICATION AND STRONG WILL;OTHERS CELEBRATE LIFE OR MOTIVATE TO KILL.MOST BELIEFS ARE MADE UP,BUT A FEW ARE TRUE;LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF TO DECIDE WHICH ONE'S FOR YOU..........
