From high up on yer crucifix
You preach about my triple 6
You spit about my this and that
And yank away yer welcome mat
With a coupon jesus christ will save
So don't you christians misbehave
'cuz santa makes the list himself
And he's rotting on the warehouse shelf

* And all the boys in the straight-edge scene
are in the basement huffing gasoline
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Yer god is dead to me!
And when the laws of God just make ya pissed
You better become an atheist
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Yer god is dead to me!

When the greed of man is not appeased
All will rot sick and diseased
Once again the fallen towers
The Tortured death of every hour
And at the toll of the final bell
You lead the righteous down to hell
When all the world is dead by dawn
All I ask is bring me along!

*

Nuclear Apox spells your doom
like the t.v. in yer living room
each bomb kills a million dead
it melts your skin and implodes yer head
And now you get yer judgement day
You think you'll float up then away
But yer guilty just like everyone
You turn to ash when the burning's done

*

There's a hunger within you
a tapeworm deep inside
or maybe it's just cancer
the doctors can't decide
but yer stomach keeps on growing
as yer body wastes away
and yer getting ill & weaker
every single fucking day


we are alone
we are alone

    General Comment:Come on all you arguing people. Stza said it himself, without respect there's gonna be nothing left. If we all like this band, there is no need to be clouding this comments section with a bunch of bullshit about some shit we'll never know about till we're fucking under ground, or under a bridge, or in the trunk of some dude's car or however the fuck you wanna go about going out.
    Religion is a problem, yes. Its full of hierarchical bullshit, and dogma and all sorts of bullshit, but there is a distinct difference between faith and religion. There is nothing wrong with faith. For some of us, its the only thing keeping us going.
    Now religious institutions are the least of everyone's problems. Unless the churches decide to hold some kind of fascist jesus uprising. but I digress. Go fight the banks, the corporations, the government, and other shit which wants to dominate your life.
    Or don't. Just sit around, listening to LoC, think about the sheeple, and bask in your obvious superiority to them. You are a great person, truly. It takes guts to do that, you know?

    General Comment:Absolutely love this song, also think that all of the angsty comments were worth making an account to make fun of them. "Eh this song fuckin rules, it tells the truth, there is no god, I hate god and religious people meehhh"

    General Comment:I like Leftover Crack/Choking Victim but, honestly, most of Stza's lyrics aren't that smart, not in the sense of being all that well thought out. Sure they're uncomprimising (regardless of if I agree with them) and he gets points for standing by what he believes but they rarely consider the other side. I have my problems with organized religion, i admit though.
    Churches don't make that much money off of people, just donations for maintenence and charity, at least that's how it was back when I was catholic.
    Ditch your persecution complex, accept other people's beliefs, stop thinking in absolutes, and for fucks sake Nietzche's quote wasn't technically atheist in nature you idiots, it was more a lament on how faith at the time was becoming less a part of people's lives not a juvenile "lawlz godz fake i are smart now rit?"

    General Comment:kro,
    the straightedge boys who huff gasoline are supposed to reference how hypocritical people can be, often religious people, who supposedly love their neighbors, but oppose gay marriage.
    I mean, not everyone who listens to Leftover Crack is supposed to take it literally. I certainly don't go out and kill cops in my spare time, and I'm confused about my own religious beliefs. But I love listening to them sometimes because of how outrageous and outspoken they are.
    Anyway, if everyone could just coexist wouldn't the world be so much happier?

    General Comment:Goddamn people are stupid as hell. I like Leftover Crack and most of the shit stza has done, but most of his lyrics are fuckign dumb. WAht the fuck does half of this shit mean? What do straight edgers have to do with religion? I know people have stopped abusing drugs because of religion but how the hell is that a bad thing? Religion isnt horrible like most of you ignorant fucks think. Ive seen churches help many people. And that stereotype of brainwashed zombies is hard as hell to find. Most of the comments on here are so fucking cliche it makes me sad that people like you like punk... I dont believe in blindly following a religion, but i dont believe in completely shutting it out because some of my ignorant fucking idols told me too. Its dumb as hell wasting your whole life trying to get to an afterlife taht might not even exist but who the hell cares if people do that. live you own life, grow the fuck up, listen to some smart bands and do some goddamn research before you spew your ignorant vomit everywhere.

    General Comment:Can't we all just accept others' beliefs? I understand how much controversy this song brings, and it slightly saddens me. Although, that's life.:)
    Christians should accept the Atheists disbelief and Atheists should at least understand that they're people and can believe what they want without getting shit for it.

    General Comment:Just for the record, I'm agnostic.
    "And all the boys in the sXe scene are in the basement huffing gasoline"
    That line is so clever. It's to priests and hypocritical religious people. Preaching "love thy neighbor" and then hating gay people is hypocritical, but there are so many people who believe that.

    "WE ARE ALONE"
    That line makes me think about if there really is no god, we really are alone. All by ourselves, free.

    General Comment:Obviously all you guys really have never read any Choking Victim or Leftover Crack interviews. Yeah, they really don't agree with the government but I never once saw them admit to being anarchists. And for the Atheist views that they have, well they aren't atheists at all, if anything they are more likely agnostics. The whole atheist deal they have aka this song and the 666 references, which would be satanism anyways not atheism, are all purely to piss people off. Most of CV and LOC's music was basically written to get their feelings out there and to give the finger to anyone who took their lyrics seriously and got pissed off at them. Go ahead, read interviews of them.

    General Comment:reActi0n must be either
    a.)retarded
    b.) high
    c.) or 5 years old

    those are the only logical conclusions I can draw considering they believe we atheists accept some mythical figure called 'satan' and are denying the existence of an afterlife etc. but are just following the opinions of others.

    reActiOn learn your shit about other worldviews before you start saying bullshit about them. There is tons of informationout there, stop forming opinions based solely on a 2000 year old archaic text. Just because you research something doesn't mean your faith will dissolve. I am sick and tired of having to explain to ignorrant theists( not all theists are ignorrant) that atheists aren't worshipping satan, rebelling against god, evil, haven't researched the subjectetc. or whatever other assinine claim they can come up because they think that their way is so much more superior than ours. Believing or disbelieving in higher power is subject because science, which provide the evidence makes the question of god's existence insolube. Therefore it's a personel choice of how you percieve the evidence. Faith which is what a Christian and other religions are based on is defined as a belief which follows a REVELATION, which inherently is based on no evidence, only subjectivity. The atheist or most atheists are wedded to Reason and Science. Reason is defined as facts which can be demostrated logically. So someone has the personal choice of choosing the comfort of faith in religion or to follow empirical truth in Atheism which is based on observable evidence. It isn't objective, it's a subjective appeal to which you prefer
