about

This anti-homophobia song about religious nut jobs with too much free time was uploaded from Thailand where I am (at time of upload) on holiday.

I don't hate religious people, in fact I've actually written songs about religious people I do like. I just don't like people who use religion as an excuse to be hateful.

I had a few mic clipping issues as I recorded most of the vocals in Thailand using my portable Yeti mic and then uploaded it the same day. Because of these issues and general fatigue and illness, I don't think I did a great job with the lead vocals.

I kind of ad libbed all the vocal harmonies but I'm happy with how they turned out, especially at the end.

Special thanks to Kane Dobinson for helping with the gang vocals on really short notice. (These were done just before I went away so I could finish the recording on my own)

lyrics

Hate me for choosing a life that's so guilty
Your ignorant preaching is killing me
No place for me in your society

You follow a book from 2,000 odd years ago
Wondering when you'll be swallowed
Living a life that's so hollow

Chase me
Step on the ground and erase me
You don't have the courage to face me
But I'm alright

{Chorus}
Cause somewhere your god
Yeah somewhere your god
Is looking down and laughing at how pitiful you are

Change me
I'll undergo all your surgery if it will convince you your bigotry isn't all that it's cracked up to be

Realise
Think for yourselves and you'll see the light
Take off the blindfold over your eyes
And see the sun


So let's put this shit to rest
And continue with the test
And if we're done then I have one impossible request
Remember this my son
Next time you judge someone
Just because it upsets you doesn't make it wrong
