Jesus Collects

Mussolini Headkick - Themes for Violent Retribution

I kneel and pray — “you start today”

So I was told — but your book is so old

I hear

I hear him teaching — “follow preaching”

But I… well I can only frown

He's got me right where he wants me

He's got me down

down on my knees

Through sightless eyes I saw his lies

I couldn't accept ...

oh no

...

Your god don't give

Your god takes it all away

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

Jesus collects all you've got

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

Jesus collects all you've got

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

Jesus collects… everything

They said

“eat your food up — it's from God's earth”

“Go stand in line now” and eat the dirt up

They preached in one tongue

taught us one “belief”

These pictures of perfection — these statues of hypocrisy

They spoke of virtue — of the unspoken word

Don't question anything — your questions won't be heard

Chained to an altar of a god we never knew

Forced to confession for things we didn't do

I kneel and pray…

I kneel and pray…

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

Jesus collects all you've got

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

Jesus collects all you've got

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

Jesus collects all you've got

Ashes to ash…
