Story Behind the Song
Late at night I turned on the television
and I saw a young Sly Stallone
doing angry push-ups with an american flag in the background
and a banner that said
"God Bleeds Freedom".
I turned off the TV and played the song straight through.
It had to be written. I performed it a few days later to a standing ovation.
Lyrics
you can shoot him with a gun, you can shoot him with a gun, you can shoot him with a gun,
but God bleeds Freedom
you can stab him with a knife, you can stab him with a knife, you can stab him with a knife,
but God bleeds Freedom
you can nail him to your cross, you can nail him to your cross, you can nail him to your cross,
but God bleeds Freedom
you can whip him, beat him, bite him and thrash him,
rip him, tear him, totally trash him,
dice him, slice him, cuisinart him,
oil him, boil him, jullienne fry him,
but his open wounds
his bleeding open wounds
will wash your sins away
wash your sins away
he'll scrub those sins away, and he'll do it for you
Heaven is just an S&M freak show, you can give it, or you can take it
Heaven is just an S&M freak show, you can give it, or you can take it
yours is the freedom, you have the freedom, God bleeds freedom for you to choose..
