This is the second song Matti wrote for WWF.
He recorded it with a tape-recorder from the 70ies and then showed it on the 2nd or 3rd rehearsal. We thought it was cool, but still we rewrote it like 10 times until that came out.
There is a different version on our Demo 2005.
I was still in school by the time I wrote those lyrics.
In Bavaria/Germany you HAVE (or at least had) to go to church in the beginning and end of a year... I hated it and refused... I got in huge trouble.
We consider ourselves atheist or agnostic people and even though we
don´t believe in any good at all and think that is is quite ridiculous to do so, we understand that some people need and want that, it makes them feel better, stronger and more alive, which is good!
But... when it comes to institutionalized religion... we see red !!!
lyrics
Through all centuries we’ve been forced
to follow your lies and fight all your wars.
And if your damn Gods were really trying,
why can’t they avoid your crying?
Get up on your feet because there is no need ,no need to crawl!
You should wake up before you stumble, stumble and fall!
“God is my name and you are nothing, nothing at all!”
Their ancient moral and inhuman values imply suppression
even to those who don’t believe,
and the few positive ideas your faith pursues
are just means to an end so the doom can’t be seen but ...
I question the people’s need for gods in order to believe
that there is a certain meaning of life,
‘cause this will only feed your leaders greed
for more and more influence and might!
Escape from their dogmas! Unravel the enigma!
