Extremist

(album: Negative Energy - 2023)

Your opinion by definition
Is a state of mind that you believe in
That doesn't make it fact or fiction
But don't use it to dictate my decisions
I will fight for what you believe in
And your right to practise religion
But when you use it as ammunition
That's when you take away our right to freedom

Free will is what you preach
Unless it's something that you don't believe
So shut up and let me speak
Just for a minute, try and see it
From a point of view that ain't a bigot
I have faith but it ain't your business
Just like my body you don't get
To decide what can and can't go in it

I could go on and on for days
About why we separate church from state
But sadly you won't ever see it that way

Extremist
You're a hypocrite
Extremist
We won't stand for it

Now don't try to twist the narrative
I'm not judging you and your choices
But that's the key word in the sentence
The right to choose is so fucking important
You deserve to be respected
Your traditions to be protected
But remembering, acknowledging
That not everyone else will be following

Extremist
You're a hypocrite
Extremist
We won't stand for it
Extremist
You're a hypocrite
Extremist
We won't stand for it

Stop force feeding your beliefs
Shoving it down our throats
Present the information
Let people decide for themselves
Hiding behind corruption
Calling it your right
But saying others can't have them
Unless they're purified

Extremist
You're a hypocrite
Extremist
We won't stand for it
Extremist
You're a hypocrite
Extremist
We won't stand for it
