lyrics

ever since the dawn of mankind
there are two things that never stopped to puzzle man's mind
the one thing is religion with one god slaying the next
but i like it more peaceful, some call it love, some call it sex

do you see my tjiuana bible right there on the nightstand?
just by sleight of hand i follow the commandments
the ones that are viable

so sorry jesus i don't mean to be rude
but i prefer my holy figures to be badly drawn and nude
the image of your corpse is just not doin' it for me
oh my religion is a blast, a blastforyou and blasphemy

do you see my tjiuana bible, right there on the nightstand?
just by sleight of hand i follow the commandments
the ones that are viable

let's say we strand on a lonely island or the
apocalypse comes i'd be the first one to wager
that you'd rip up your holy book, turn it into firewood
lie down with me and enjoy an eight pager

do you see my tjiuana bible, right there in you hands?
do you now understand? oh what good is it banned?

i'll make a convert out of you, i'll make a pervert out of you, yet

„[...] ungeschliffene, gestochen scharf auf den Punkt kommende, englischsprachige
Songminitaturen voll von schrägem Humor und bitterbösen Weltbetrachtungen, die schlecht
gestimmte Gitarre schnörkellos rudimentär, die Stimme ein wütendes Knurren, kaum ein Lied
länger als zweieinhalb Minuten. Wunderbar!“ (NN)

"Schräger Antifolk mit Bart, Klampfe und Mundharmonika. Zum Verlieben!" (A&F) ... more
