Red Hot Chili Peppers Shallow be thy name

I was not created in the likeness of a fraud.

Your hell is something scary, I prefer a loving god.

We are not the center of this funny universe

And what is something worse:

I do not serve, in fear of such a curse !

 

Shallow be thy game 2000 years look in the mirror.

You play the game of shame and tell your people live in fear.

 

A rival to the way you see the bible let him be.

I'm a threat to your survival and your control company.

 

Chorus :

You'll never burn me

You'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah !

You can't contain me

I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody !

 

To anyone who's listening, you're not born into sin.

The guilt they try and give you, puke it in the nearest bin.

 

Missionary maddness sweep up culture with a broom.

Trashing ancient ways is par for the course,

it's fucking rude !

 

To think that you're above the laws of nature, what a joke.

Purple sasfies feeding masses

Smoke on which to choke.

 

I might be a monkey when it comes to being holy.

Fundamental hatred.

Get down on your knees and...

 

You'll never burn me

You'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah !

You can't contain me

I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody !

 

I was not created in the likeness of a fraud.

Your hell is something scary, I prefer a loving god.

We are not the center of this funny universe

And what is something worse:

I do not serve, in fear of such a curse !

 

You'll never burn me

You'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah !

You can't contain me

I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody !

 

You'll never burn me

You'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah !

You can't contain me

I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody !
