Now where can I get some anti-religious punk rock to listen to while I read this? I need to see what happens when I have the extreme right in my eyes and the extreme left in my ears!

Congratulations, you've found the one and only punk band I listen to, and a song on the one album of theirs I have. But I don't have my CD's with me and I don't get back home until next break.

Got any more?
 
They built the American Jesus up in Daytona somewhere right off the interstate, if the hurricanes haven't left him in ruin by now. I think he was made of fiberglass.
 
Marilyn Manson from Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)

Disposable Teens

And I’m a black rainbow
And I’m an ape of god
I got a face that’s made for violence upon
I’m a teen distortion
Survived abortion
A rebel from the waist down

I wanna thank you mom
I wanna thank you dad
For bringing this f@&#ing world
To a bitter end
I never really hated a one true god
But the God of the people I hated

You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great big hit
You say you want a revolution, man
And I say that you’re full of s$&#

We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable
We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable

You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great big hit
You say you want a revolution, man
I say that you’re full of s@$%

The more that you fear us
The bigger we get
The more that you fear us
The bigger we get
And don’t be surprised, don’t be surprised
Don’t be surprised when we destroy all of it

I thought the last lyric was "And don't be surprised when we discover it"
 
Now when I read the tract, arrrrgh! Head explode! Too much is contradict! Why they agree on hate America???
 
I don't know if this is a anti religious song, or an anti polics song that uses religious symbolism

Tool - Eulogy

He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.

No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.

So loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you f$%&ing lie.

Don't you step out of line.
Don't you f$&%ing lie.

You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?

You had alot to say.
You had alot of nothing to say.

Come down.
Get off your f#$%ing cross.
We need the f@%&ing space to nail the next fool martyr.

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies. [sic]
Goodbye...
 
If you're going to mention Tool, you have to go with Opiate.

I don't feel like googling up the lyrics to C&P or typing them all, so I'll just hit the highlights...

My God's will
becomes me.
When he speaks,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to rape you.
 
I hope that guy saved all the money he made from Satan and such. That would be a great deal. You could sign the contract, get everything you wanted, and then repent and start all over again with the dosh you already made.

And since you've mentioned Tool, how about APC - Judith?
 
Dream Theater, from the Train of Thought album:

In The Name Of God

How could this be?
Why is he the chosen one?
Saint gone astray
With a scepter and a gun

Learn to believe
In the mighty and the strong
Come bleed the beast
Follow me it won't be long

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Straight is the path
Leading to your salvation
Slaying the weak
Ethnic elimination

Any day we'll all be
Swept away
You'll be saved
As long as you obey

Lies
Tools of the devil inside
Written in Holy disguise
Meant to deceive and divide
Us all

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Blurring the lines
Between virtue and sin
They can't tell
Where God ends
And mankind begins

They know no other
Life but this
From the cradle
They are claimed

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God
Hundreds of believers
Lured into a doomsday cult

All would perish
In the name of God

Self-proclaimed messiah
Led his servants
To their death
Eighty murdered
In the name of God

Forty sons and daughters
Un-consenting plural wives
Perversions
In the name of God

Underground religion
Turning toward
The mainstream light
Blind devotion
In the name of God

Justifying violence
Citing from the Holy Book
Teaching hatred
In the name of God

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Religious beliefs
Fanatic obsession
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?

Unyielding crusade
Divine revelation
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?
 
Anyway, here's my favorite part of the tract:

Lew Siffer: Those stupid little jerks have no idea what I've got planned for them.
(next panel)
Lyrics: We're gonna rock, rock, rock, ROCK with the ROCK!

And the funniest part is the audience loves them. I guess the devil's plans backfired that time.
 
I'm confused. Satan thinks gay marriage is going too far? Weird.

eta: If Satan's able to "give" people AIDS, does that mean he's HIV positive? How did that happen?
