Music Monday: Eric Hutchinson - "New Religion"

I've had issues with religion for a long time. This should not be misconstrued as being anti-God. I'm absolutely not. But I think some of his "followers" are really misguided. And that's putting it nicely. They sit in church weekly (maybe more) and yet they treat people (sometimes loved ones and sometimes strangers) terribly. It drives me crazy when people use their religion to justify some crappy thing they've done. This song sums up what I think God would probably like to say to some of those folks.




 Get yourself a new religion
I don't wanna be your God no more
Get yourself some new traditions
It's not like it used to be before
You're shedding blood in my name
Spreading lies and shortcuts
Pulling families apart, deciding who and what
So get yourself a new religion
And quit ruining mine

Get yourself a new religion
I don't wanna be the one you blame
Get yourself a new condition
Stop wearing out my goddamn name
You send a prayer when you're sad
Send a prayer when you're down
When you're back up on top
You set fire to the town
So get yourself a new religion
And quit ruining mine

You're doing it wrong
You're doing it wrong
You need me so bad
I know it all
You know it too
I'm the best you've ever had

I gave you air you can breathe
I gave you midnight and dawn
I gave you language and love
I gave you space and beyond

So get yourself a new religion
Quit ruining mine

I bet there's other books
I bet there's other faiths
Go give 'em your dirty looks
Go give 'em your hell to pay
Get yourself a new religion
And quit ruining mine
So get yourself a new religion
And quit ruining mine
