Lyrics and Music by Daniel Gildenlöw

We’ll cut you down to size.

There is a woman
Burning at the center square:
Raven black eyes and long let out hair,
Screaming, while cloaked vultures
Holier-than-thou circle and glare
At sweat drops on pale skin like satin.

And as the raging flames
Work her into cinder
Said in their defence:
Stupidity and ignorance,
Prejudice and intolerance,
All sound so much wiser
When dressed up in Latin.

Chorus:
     Life will never be the same,
     I have a bigger world
     Since I found God,
     I found God.
     Truth will never be the same,
     I’m in a righter mind
     Since I found God,
     I found God.

I found Mrs. Modern Mother Mary,
All pale and weary
From raising her overweight kids
In the outskirts of Suburbia.
On a nice Christian gender based salary
And a church she can merely attend.

And there on the flip-side
Of Caucasia we see
Miss Modern Mary Magdalene
Gone Deep Throat
On international cable TV.

   So you keep talking
   About progress and equality,
   But to me, the crusade
   Is still on, my friend.

   Silly me who always thought,
   Life was for the living
   And giving in to lust
   Was all to give and to be given.

Chorus:
     Life will never be the same,
     I have a better view
     Since I found God,
     I found God.
     Guilt will never be the same,
     I’m on a higher ground
     Since I found God,
     I found God,
     I found God,
     I found God.

     Life will never be the same,
     I have a better view now.
     There’s always someone else to blame,
     I’m on the winning team now.

     Death will never be the same,
     I’m in the faster lane now.
     No more am I the one to blame,
     I have a juster cause now.

     Love will never be the same,
     Lust will never be the same,
     Shame will never be the same,
     I will never be the same.

     And you will never be the same!
