	A song about religious folly today.
	CD: Uncle Scam Salutes You   Label: USFM Records
	Story Behind the Song This song started as just a jam with Adam, the guitarist, and me, Tres on drums. Eventually we brought in Bill, our bassist to play along with us. After Russell took over on drums, I wrote lyrics to it and began the preliminary stages of the song. Eventually it took its present form, with Jordan on acoustic guitar and Matt on drums. This song was motivated by the sickening blindness of people in choosing their religion. Religion is an important life choice, not one to be blindly made. Lyrics With that oh so fucking perfect cause Burn liberty upon that cross Clench the world within cleansing jaws Liberty is a hollow illusion Salvation is yours, it's yours to reap If into their chasm you'll silently leap Surrender your conscience, it's theirs to keep Liberty is a hollow illusion Find a new land, a brand new quest Spread your disease ever-farther west Convert those heathens, yes do your best Liberty is a hollow illusion Violence is swell if it suits their goals Injustice is fine they're just playing their roles They'll take their philosophy and shoot more holes Ignorance can only go so far Chorus: Follow our will and sell us your soul Cry for mercy, we won't hear your plea Come now lemmings, we're your false idol All we ask is for one small fee Just give us this one small fee Close your mind and obey our decree Cast your spell your iron shroud Muffle the truth, you're god-endowed Such a good little dog, Jesus is proud Liberty is a hollow illusion Follow the Bible? No, they don't need it Obey the clergy? Hell, they don't heed it Start the fire and use books to feed it Liberty is a hollow illusion You're always right, your word is gold Everyone else better do what they're told Intelligent thought is far too bold Liberty is a hollow illusion Choose your morals, yes pick them well Follow our commands or you'll go to hell Don't move a muscle, everything is swell Ignorance can only go so far
