Don’t Pray on Me Songtext
von Bad Religion

A grizzly scene on my electron beam told a story about human rights
So all the king′s horses and all the king's men had a riot for two days and nights
Well, city exploded, but the gates wouldn′t open, so the company asked him to quit
Now everybody's equal
Just don't measure it

Well, Hanson did it to Hester
And Mark David did it to John
And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn
But he did it to South Vietnam
For beauty and glory
For money, love, and country
Now everybody′s doin′ it
Don't do that to me


A bitter debate and a feminine fate lie in tandem like two precious babes
While the former gets warmer, it′s the latter that matters
Except on the nation's airwaves
And custodians of public opinion state fact after vainly discussing her rights
Lay hands off her body
It′s not your fuckin' life

Now I don′t know what stopped Jesus Christ
From turning every hungry stone into bread
And I don't remember hearin' how Moses reacted when the innocent first born sons lay dead
Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative back when he flamboyantly parted the sea
Now everybody′s prayin′
Don't pray on me

Said, everybody prayin′
Don't pray on me
