The Science Of Religion

from God Project by Sun Holes / Norm Berketa

/

about

"The Science Of Religion" is about Scientology, which is pretty obvious if you pay attention to the lyrics. This is one of my favourites, and it is the second version of the song. The first version featured actual recordings of L. Ron Hubbard in certain parts of the song, and it reminded me of "Mister Manson" by KLAATU, in that it was creepy hearing a lunatic preaching nonsense over chaotic music. After some thought, I realized that I didn't necessarily need a lawsuit anytime soon, so I removed the recordings and added more lyrics. In the end, it sounds like I think it was meant to.

lyrics

Gonna start a religion
Gonna build me a church
Cuz I've written some novels
And I know how science works
Gonna look for the lonely
For the weak and the sick
Gonna get me some big stars
To make it all look slick

Do you need a friend?
Someone you can trust?
I'm the one you're meant to follow

Gonna buy me a big boat
Gonna sail it to sea
It'll be for the top dogs
It'll be for the elite
They can bring all their children
We have places for them
We'll keep everyone busy
And they won't see them again

You have much to learn
There's no time to lose
This machine will show us all your problems

The science of religion
Is guidance for the blind
The science of religion
Is guidance for your mind

Don't question anything
Just follow me
You're mine for a billion years
That's eternity

Gonna build me a system
And a bridge to the top
It'll cost you your savings
And money you don't got
You can leave if you want to
But there's one little catch
If you talk smack about us
Your whole family will detach

There's no place to hide
We are everywhere
You're the one we're going to follow

The science of religion
Is guidance for the blind
The science of religion
Is guidance for your mind

The science of religion
Is guidance for the blind
The science of religion
Is guidance for your mind
