Ageing schemers, turbaned traitors
Catholic converts, mad dictators
Priests in pulpits and dog-collars
Different kinds of ayatollahs
Preaching worship, preaching violence
Trust in God and keep your silence
In the pews, the faithful standing
Priest his pound of flesh demanding
All you priests, prophets, popes and holy sages
Oh you're all part of the same conspiracy
Different judges, different gods may pay your wages
But you're all made in the same Fear Factory
Yes, you're all made in the same Fear Factory
See the church tower and steeple
Taste the opium of the people
Jew or Rasta, Sikh or Hindu
A thousand credos to enslave you
Jesus Christ superstar
Born-again America's latest star
The bosses bought you a company car
For services rendered to the bigots' bazaar
All you priests, prophets, popes and holy sages
Oh you're all part of the same conspiracy
Different judges, different gods may pay your wages
But you're all made in the same Fear Factory
Yes, you're all made in the same Fear Factory
For years and years you played on our fears
Controlling our hopes and our lives
Your prayers, cheap mops and panaceas
Then you take your ties
But now we look to the new holy book
Of existential lives
It's written there, Don't cower and kneel
Take up your bed and fight
Take up your bed and fight
Ageing schemers, turbaned traitors
Catholic converts, mad dictators
Priests in pulpits and dog-collars
Different kinds of ayatollahs
As in Ireland, divide and rule
Religion is the tyrant's tool
In the pews, the faithful standing
Priest his pound of flesh demanding
All you priests, prophets, popes and holy sages
Oh you're all part of the same conspiracy
Different judges, different gods may pay your wages
But you're all made in the same Fear Factory
Yes, you're all made in the same Fear Factory
Yes, you're all made in the same Fear Factory
You're all made in the same Fear Factory
