What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED aka  PiL  "public image: first issue" cd, 1978

another album played yesterday, in keeping with my John Lydon weekend.
their debut album of ten, I own three and a live album.
elements of punk, funk, disco/dance. 
also probably the earliest examples of what is now called 'drum and bass' music.
loving just about everything on this album this time round because I was in the mood to
listen to it.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

an extremely cynical look at organised religion:






Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside
With the lies of statues in their minds
Where the Christian religion made them blind
Where they hide
And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog
Not for one race, one creed, one world
But for money
Effective
Absurd

Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host
Do you read who's dead in the Irish Post
Do you give away the cash you can't afford
On bended knees and pray to lord

Fat pig priest
Sanctimonious smiles
He takes the money
You take the lies
This is religion and Jesus Christ
This is religion cheaply priced
This is bibles full of libel
This is sin in eternal hymn
This is what they've done
This is your religion
The apostles were eleven
Now there's a sod in Heaven

This is religion
There's a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
Your religion
