Earthsuit Against The Grain Lyrics

Against The Grain Lyrics

You wanna strangle me, then here's my neck

You ain't got the strength to flex so fess

You wanna get all up in my destiny

Haughty rules and words that hinder me

Go and teach men's commandments from afar, it's who you are and you dare

Build a dam on the spiritual real; your ruling is appealed



I've been sent to your boat to rock it

Men flood hell while your hands are in your pocket

You separate from the life source and endorse

And force secret religious codes like morse

Constraints, why do you seize us? Just give me Jesus

I'll be free in this unruly world

Nowhere to hide, I'm going untied



Suffocation... Where's it come from; exhalation

Throw religion

I go up against the grain



You're like boa constriction, don't lube the friction

Spiritual got impeached like Nixon

Anorexic generation x result by default the inner man assault

Beat to a pulp confined from the river and no limbs for the body

Prodigals are being forced to eat pig's food

When the church has a feast for this starving crew

You cannot ever muzzle me from reprimanding what puzzles me

The rigid formalities of mankind that choke the hidden man

As you proclaim "Let us make God in our own image"

And when you're finished you've manipulated my passion

I'll come out thrashing

The sky turns red as I migrane the head



Suffocation... Where's it come from; exhalation

Throw religion

I go up against the grain



Liberty is what we need

Father set us free

Liberty is what we need

Father set us free



Go up against the grain, I'm untied

Go up against the grain
