about

Incitement to Religious Hatred

Another ridiculous law to prosecute the critical and the rational is the one against ‘Incitement to Religious Hatred’. Why does anyone who subscribes to some irrational medieval belief system get special treatment? Once again it’s all in the interpretation, leaving it wide open to abuse from the first not very cuddly government that comes along. Another song written to piss people off and to break the law. If I was Leonard Cohen I’d have a girly choir singing along with the ‘hate them all, kill them all’ chorus. I await the green ink.

lyrics

Incitement to Religious Hatred

I hate your religion and all you believe
You’re bad and dangerous, the world is naïve
To think it’s OK to let you survive
Your role should be victim, thrown out of the hive

Your books and your buildings your graves and your schemes
Should be dug up or buried or burned, not believed
Your customs and habits, the food that you eat
Shall be cast from the hillsides and labelled obscene

Hate them all, kill them all

Your leaders and followers, interpreters and seers
Dress, customs, language, hung up by the ears
Your religion is a weirdo, a slut, whore and dog
But I quite like them, so perhaps not

The towers and the bowers and the temples and spires
Should be crushed into rubble and sunk in the mire
The scents and the candles and houses and piles
Dissolved in the spit from a million smiles

Hate them all, kill them all
Hate them all, kill them all

Eat all their children and scoop out their brains
Torture and scare them, pour their blood down the drains
Beat them and kill them and boil them in oil
Incitement to religious hatred is my all in all

If you want specifics if you think I’m being coy
Of whom am I talking? Who winds up this boy?
It’s as simple as ABC, as easy as pie
It’s that Great Giant Pixie that lives in the sky

Hate them all, kill them all
Hate them all, kill them all

Pause for reflection

Through all of this nonsense, the thing that strikes wrong
Is this God needs protection from me and my song
The law is a donkey, a pig snake or ass
We must all be polite and we must be glad

Hey - all of those people who died for free speech
Tell them we’re selling it – dirt cheap
