Against The Grain - Lyrics - Earthsuit

You wanna strangle me, then here's my neck You ain't got the strength to flex so fess You wanna get all up in my destiny Haughty rules and words that hinder me Go and teach men's commandments from afar, it's who you are and you dare Build a dam on the spiritual real; your ruling is appealed I've been sent to your boat to rock it Men flood hell while your hands are in your pocket You separate from the life source and endorse And force secret religious codes like morse Constraints, why do you seize us? Just give me Jesus I'll be free in this unruly world Nowhere to hide, I'm going untied Suffocation... Where's it come from; exhalation Throw religion I go up against the grain You're like boa constriction, don't lube the friction Spiritual got impeached like Nixon Anorexic generation x result by default the inner man assault Beat to a pulp confined from the river and no limbs for the body Prodigals are being forced to eat pig's food When the church has a feast for this starving crew You cannot ever muzzle me from reprimanding what puzzles me The rigid formalities of mankind that choke the hidden man As you proclaim "Let us make God in our own image" And when you're finished you've manipulated my passion I'll come out thrashing The sky turns red as I migrane the head Suffocation... Where's it come from; exhalation Throw religion I go up against the grain Liberty is what we need Father set us free Liberty is what we need So set us free Go up against the grain, I'm untied Go up against the grain
