Thinning The Herd by Bigwig Lyrics
Force-fed into believing what's right
You're stripped of a soul and you're ready to fold
Follow them and they'll show you the light
You're already sold on what you've been told
They're telling you what they want you to here
It all makes sense, but there's something unclear
They suck you in while they thin out the herd
And now you're losing confidence
Redefining trust
Is something that's left up to us
What your getting in return
Is losing what you've earned
All your life you've lived by the book
Take a step back to take another look
Contradictions left and right
You keep it next to your bed to help you go to sleep at night
They're telling you what they want you to here
It all makes sense, but there's something unclear
They suck you in while they thin out the herd
And now you're losing confidence
So what would Jesus do?
If you gave him a gun, would he kill if he had to?
In his defense, you'd kill and fight
But what gave you the right?
You're so caught up in this religious haze
Dismissing the gays
"And the devil made AIDS"
Religious racists want all others to fall
If I could choose a god he'd believe in us all
They're telling you what they want you to here
It all makes sense, but there's something unclear
They suck you in while they thin out the herd
And now you're losing confidence
Redefining trust is something that's left up to us
What you're getting in return is losing what you've earned
You're stripped of a soul, you're ready to fold
Already been sold on thinning out the herd
You're stripped of a soul and you're ready to fold
Follow them and they'll show you the light
You're already sold on what you've been told
They're telling you what they want you to here
It all makes sense, but there's something unclear
They suck you in while they thin out the herd
And now you're losing confidence
Redefining trust
Is something that's left up to us
What your getting in return
Is losing what you've earned
All your life you've lived by the book
Take a step back to take another look
Contradictions left and right
You keep it next to your bed to help you go to sleep at night
They're telling you what they want you to here
It all makes sense, but there's something unclear
They suck you in while they thin out the herd
And now you're losing confidence
So what would Jesus do?
If you gave him a gun, would he kill if he had to?
In his defense, you'd kill and fight
But what gave you the right?
You're so caught up in this religious haze
Dismissing the gays
"And the devil made AIDS"
Religious racists want all others to fall
If I could choose a god he'd believe in us all
They're telling you what they want you to here
It all makes sense, but there's something unclear
They suck you in while they thin out the herd
And now you're losing confidence
Redefining trust is something that's left up to us
What you're getting in return is losing what you've earned
You're stripped of a soul, you're ready to fold
Already been sold on thinning out the herd
