New God
A criticism of the way American capitalism has twisted the concept of God and made it into something new to satisfy their wretched greed.

It's a strange old world
and this new storm breaking
over roads, I've not yet taken
is ruining all
I'd ever wished to be.
It's a strange old world
and these new-found prophets
keep singing you can't stop this
brand new
ideology.
They're bringing it down!
Bringing it down!
And I'm so far gone
from the man I used to see...
Something's different in the rain now,
cold new poison on an aged brow!
Holy tokens on the corpses ground
down to feed the horses!
Marching
to the sound, loud, of a nation,
silenced,
drowned out!
A whole new god
has taken root in me!
It’s a strange old world
and it keeps on getting stranger,
all these new ways to get in danger
Is enough to
drive a man insane!
It’s a strange old world
and I weep now just to see it
defy those who laid down just to free it!
Not a one
would ever rise again!
They're bringing it down!
Bringing it down!
and I'm so far gone
from the man I used to see...
Something's different in the rain now,
cold new poison on an aged brow!
Holy tokens on the corpses ground
down to feed the horses!
Marching
to the sound, loud, of a nation,
silenced,
drowned out!
A whole new god
has taken root in me!
A whole new god has taken root in me!
And all this hatred worships at that tree!
Dollar signs and cold steel lines
over the doors that once were free!
It’s a strange old world
It’s a strange old world
And it’ll keep on getting stranger!
So long as they won’t let us change it!
It’s a strange old world
It’s a strange old world
And it keeps on
getting scarier!
You wonder are they blind?!
Don’t they see what’s left behind?!
That strange old world
of yours and mine...
