In a crowded chapel
I sit without God on my mind
I'm thinking of the work that needs done at home
And how I'm so far behind
I think about my goddamn mother
And how I hope she goes to hell
Then I realize that wasn't the right thing
And how I'm not listening very well
I turn my attention back to the priest
But my mind wonders once again
I can't stand these long boring sermons
It's too early, it's not even ten
What is the point of this form of torture
When it'll never teach me right from wrong
There is no reason to make us suffer
And sit for so terribly long
Yes I know that Jesus died for me
And I'm as grateful as I'll ever be
But why be restrained to this dark, creepy place
When I can be happy and free?
I look around this crowded room
And a startling revelation comes to mind
Half the people here are hypocrites
All we've got on our mind is time
For time is wasted here every week
When we can be doing something good
Like helping the meek and misfortunate
If I could escape, I would
Author's Note: I believe in God and Jesus and most things in the Bible (MOST) but I do not believe in organized religion and this is mostly what I used to think when I went to Catholic school and was forced to go to Church every week. Agree or disagree. I'd like to know opinions and views so if you reviewed that'd be great.
