Lyrics

	What a beautiful feelin' is is to be real.
	How do you feel?
	How the guilty will fall,
	'Cause they're guilty as sin.
	Let it begin.

	I heard it from on high,
	Heard it was a lie,
	Jesus die at crucifixion.
	Lies from Emperor Constantine
	To control your mind.
	Lord, there'll be some resurrection.
	The church had to apologise
	For crimes in time,
	For all the profits,
	Overseeing slave plantations.
	So it comes as no surprise,
	The church has brutalised.
	After all, the first slave ship, they name
	It Jesus.

	Some folks are hollow,
	Got no tomorrow.
	Happiness can neither
	Beg, steal, or borrow.

	Some folks are hollow,
	Got no tomorrow.
	Happiness can neither
	Beg, steal, or borrow.

	Where's all the art and gold
	That the Nazis stole?
	In the Vatican with his holiness the
	Pope of Rome.
	How the guilty will fall,
	'Cause they're guilty as sin.
	All this talk
	Of who is and who isn't getting in!

	Some folks are hollow,
	Got no tomorrow.
	Can't smile faces,
	And the flock won't follow.

	Some folks are hollow,
	Got no tomorrow.
	Happiness can neither
	Beg, steal, or borrow.
