[Musikstil Tom McDonald]
[Intro (Spoken)]
They build temples out of taxes,
and call obedience “faith.”
Every sermon’s sponsored.
Every war wears a halo.
---
[Verse 1]
Preach fear, sell hope, repeat the show,
politicians wear robes, now the clergy’s CEO.
They baptize your vote in a sea of control,
crucify rebels with a censorship scroll.
Gold on the altar, blood in the sand,
pockets of prophets, all owned by the brand.
They promise heaven if you pay your dues,
but the gates are coded — subscription renewed.
---
[Hook]
Gods and governments — same disguise,
different suits, but identical lies.
Raise your hands or raise your flag,
you’re worshipping the same damn drag.
Gods and governments — sign your soul,
same fine print on a different scroll.
Heaven’s for sale, freedom’s leased,
and every savior’s just a well-paid priest.
---
[Verse 2]
They pray in parliaments, bless the bombs,
praise the warlords with psalms.
Preachers preach peace, but the fund’s offshore,
and the devil’s got offices on every floor.
They quote the book but censor the verse,
truth in chains, profits first.
Your faith is data, your pain’s a trend,
confession uploaded, “send.”
---
[Bridge – Spoken, slow build]
Amen for the empire,
hallelujah for control.
They fear no devil —
they built him in code.
---
[Verse 3]
They trade your sins for shares and gold,
turn your children into payroll code.
Every prayer’s a marketing scheme,
every prophet’s a branded meme.
They rewrite history, call it divine,
paint dictators with sacred lines.
From Rome to Silicon Valley saints,
different idols, same complaints.
They preach “unity,” but build new walls,
one world order in shopping malls.
Your faith is just a product tag —
truth’s illegal, but the flag still drags.
---
[Hook – Final]
Gods and governments — same disguise,
different suits, but identical lies.
Raise your hands or raise your flag,
you’re worshipping the same damn drag.
Gods and governments — sign your soul,
same fine print on a different scroll.
Heaven’s for sale, freedom’s leased,
and every savior’s just a well-paid priest.
