Consolation Prize

2000 years of lies
 2000 years of promises and crimes
 To keep the human race
 Subjugated, tied up with a collar 'round its neck
 And you follow their rules
 You play the game of fools
 You blindly trust what's written in that book
 They promise you, Heaven, then threat you with hell
 For how long will this farce go on again and again?
 I need no consolation
 I need no consolation prize
 I need no condemnations
 For the errors of my life
 I do what I feel right
 Don't need no sermons about how I should behave
 I've already seen the light
 You're preaching love but then you're spreading hate
 And you follow their rules
 You blinded bigot fool
 You play the game that's written in that book
 They promise you Heaven then threat you with hell
 For how long will this farce go on again and again?
 I need no consolation
 I need no consolation prize
 I need no condemnations
 For the errors of my life
 And no indoctrination
 And no intimidations
 No recriminations
 I need no absolution at all
