about

Ever meet someone who doesn’t know that they don’t know? Those who follow my professorial life as The Old Silk Road Philosopher understand me when I say, “Ultimately, all religion is projection.” To each his own, not your own. Get a clue ye opiated masses.

lyrics

V1

Boys on their bikes, pedalin’ fast, know just where they goin’.
Uniform whites, indigo pants, little black ties a-flowin’.
You see’m in pairs everywhere, they got their colors showin’.
But this ol’ gang ain’t killin’ no cops, they just say you might be goin’. . .

CHORUS

Straight to Hell. . . I said whatchoo gonna do?
Straight to Hell. . . Somebody’s foolin’ you!
Straight to Hell. . . That might be all right for you!
Straight to Hell. . . I said to hell with you!

2 - Never had a chance to compare, they was bred with tunnel vision.
Home from school, straight to church, gettin’ ready for that mission.
The golden rule is a wonderful tool when you got to sell religion.
When you gonna learn you gonna get burned, better lose your superstition.

CHORUS

Now looky here, you was born into an ongoing movie
How it begins and ends nobody knows
You should quit talkin' about stuff you don't know
And then maybe you can let all this religious fear go
By the way, here's my religion...

guitar solo over groove on the One

3 - Don’t get me wrong if you wanna learn, you got to do some livin’.
On this side, on that side, takin’ and a-givin’.
But don’t you buy one idea, it’ll give you tunnel vision.
Live, live let, keep an open mind, you don’t need no damn religion.

CHORUS
