Puritanical Punishment Beating lyrics

Automatons strayed from their flock

Cast as the embodiment of ruination

Resounding words from God

And words are all they ever are

Astounding deeds from faith

That never quite astound

Moral yardstick beats us senseless

Observe some wills being broken

Blocked the clear sight

Better an outcast than a forced sycophant

Better a head free from religious checks

No protection - oh well, take a slow sexual death

No salvation through safe birth control (!)

Same sex, different habits - who gives a fucking shit

This won't make the species unfurl

Better an outcast than a forced sycophant

Better a head free from religious checks

Slavishly steered by redemption

Stricken by Biblical wrath

When solutions lie in compassionate logic

Not hearsay but the will of man
