This Is The Culture You're

I Am The Ism, My Hate's A Prism.

It Says Right Here You've Got To Be Saved To Go To Heaven. But The Way I See It, You've Only Got To Be Yourself To Go To Hell.

If I Hadn't Gone To A Private Christian School, I'd Never Have Built Up Enough Animosity To Want To Have Started A Band. And Now That I Have One, The Fact That They Are Giving Me Such Resistance And Publicity, They Have Made Me Far Bigger Than They'd Ever Have Wanted Me To Have Become. So I Guess In A Strange Way The Christians Have Influenced Me The Most.

Whether You Interpret The Bible As Literature Or As The Final Word Of Whatever God May Be, Christianity Has Given Us An Image Of Death And Sexuality That We Have Based Our Culture Around. A Half-naked Dead Man Hangs In Most Homes And Around Our Necks, And We Have Just Taken That For Granted All Of Our Lives.

My Desire Is To Be Pure Again And Not Dirtied By The World. But It's My Duty To Be As Ugly And As Filthy As I Am, So The Audience Can Experience What I Have.
