Yeah, I got a LONG lecture about this from a new-age pagan friend in Florida about this meme -
- but the point is simply to give the jebus-phreaks a bit of a face-slap over their belief in fairytales.
Personally, I'm a happy agnostic...
I know that I don't have a fucking clue about 'what's really going on in the universe', and I don't think anybody else has either - not Dawkins, not the Pope, not even our beloved Daily Llama
... and think that somehow, that's how it's supposed to be.
Interesting thoughts, not sure I completely agree with them but I do think I got your original point even with the guff, eggs, bunny's and rising sap, a celebration of seasonal change co-opted for the Jesus rap like so many other things.
Thanks.
DAY AFTER DAY
WITH TALK OF PEACE AND THE JESUS RAP
A LOVING KISS AND A FATHERS STRAP
THEY STRAP ME DOWN AND HOLD ME BACK
TIE ME UP AND GIVE ME SLACK
WAVE THE FLAG AND LEAD ME ON
POINT THE WAY AND CALL ME SON
AND THEN THEY STAB ME IN THE BACK
SO WHEN WILL WE BE HAPPY
WHEN WILL WE BE FREE
WHEN WE NEVER SEEM TO REACH
THE PLACE WE'D LIKE TO BE
WITH TALK OF GREED THE MONEY game
In a fathers voice they call my name
To play the cow who makes the cash
That they then use to build a stash
To prove a point they put you down
To change the blame and twist you round
AND THEN THEY STAB us IN THE BACK
SO WHEN WILL WE BE HAPPY
WHEN WILL WE BE FREE
WHEN WE NEVER SEEM TO REACH
THE PLACE WE'D LIKE TO BE
WE NEVER SEEM TO STAND
AND WE NEVER SEEM TO FALL
IN A MEDIOCRE MEDIUM WE CRAWL
DAY AFTER DAY
THEY TAKE MY DREAMS AWAY
SEND ME OFF TO PLAY IN THE DARK
DAY AFTER DAY
THEY TAKE MY DREAMS AWAY
and then they stab me in the back
