about

Casual religious brainwashing is ubiquitous in Scottish schools. We don't think that's a good thing.

lyrics

I like wonder and I like tradition when taught for what it is
I’m not so keen on folks without permission trying to sell stuff to my kids
Well okay it’s important history, the last 2,000 years
But tens of thousands more of total mystery,
has that just disappeared?
There’s folks who’ll try to tell you that religion’s a thing you can’t attack
If I’m a statue baby they’re the pigeons who shit all down my back
Cos my choice to draw my own conclusions was stalled on a Sunday more
An image branded by an institution and it gets you from the day you’re born
and it follows you
Hey boy, don’t kid yourself you might think you’ve got away
But we’re gonna find you wherever you run to
and we don’t need your faith cos when we’re inside your head we’re there to stay

I seek a country where the past can’t hurt you and no-one plays that game
Try and cultivate a life of virtue not built on guilt and shame
But each time I think I’ve got it mastered, my own clear path to see
Who blocks my path but that big bearded bastard, saying Hey, remember me,
did you think I’d gone?
Hey boy, don’t kid yourself you might think you’ve got away,
but I’m gonna find you wherever you run to
and I don’t need your faith cos when I’m inside your head I’m there to stay.
