Anne Clark - Psalm
(via Pharyngula)
I Don't need your gods.
Don't need your eternal paternal god.
Don't need no reassuringly protective
good and evil in perspective god.
Don't need no imported distorted,
inflated updated,
holy roller, save your soul, or
anaesthetisingly opiate gods.
Don't need no "all creatures that on Earth do dwell"
be good or you go to Hell god.
Don't need no Hare Krishna Hare Krishna,
Hail Mary, Hail Mary god.
Got no yen for zen, Baghavad-Gita or Gurdjieff.
No Mormons, Methodists, Seventh Day Adventist gods,
no absolutes beyond refute,
no reverential preferential Judaic Messianic gods.
No Bibles, no Mahayanas, Delai Lhama
instant dharma gods.
Don't need no spiritual suicide or
prefrontal lobotomising gods.
Don't need no stoic sexless
anticeptic god.
Don't need no neon crucifix,
no crusade, no burkha, no Buddhas,
no camels or needles or Papal decrees,
no mail-order ikons, Koran's or Mandala's,
no Meha Baba's, no Sri Chimnoys, or Ayatollah's.
no Guatama's, no Manitou, Ouspensky or Marx,
no yin/yang, no tao, no tarot or incense,
no sacred mushrooms
no dianetics,
no Tibetan prayer mats
no "Immortal invisible gods only wise".
Don't need no televised circumcised
incessant incandescent god.
I Don't need your gods.
I need human beings.
I need some kind of love.
I need you.
(NB! The lyrics are as close as I could get them. I took the lyrics form Myers but as I noticed they did not quite match, so I altered them whenever I heard a difference. The sound quality, however, is not the best as the YouTube link is a live video and thus there are mistakes I couldn't correct and some lines missing since I couldn't make any sense... a native with a Doctorate on religions might get them right.)
