    A good chunk of this song matches up to a life as a JW.

    Here are some lyrics and how I relate it.

    My lover's got humour
    She's the giggle at a funeral
    Knows everybody's disapproval
    I should've worshiped her sooner (WHOLE VERSE ABOUT perhaps a spouse who left first and shunned by all, and now the other spouse who finally left should have supported them long ago)

    If the heavens ever did speak
    She's the last true mouthpiece
    Every Sunday's getting more bleak
    A fresh poison each week (The GB say they are the 'mouthpiece' of God. This persons other is who revealed TTATT. Each week new light, 'poison' from the GB)


    [Chorus 2x:]
    Take me to church (take me to the kingdomhall)
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies (I'll worship like a dog at the stage of your lies)
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife (Tell your sins to the elders so they can sharpen their knife and disfellowship)
    Offer me that deathless death (disfellowshipping and shunning is a deathless death)
    Good God, let me give you my life


    Drain the whole sea
    Get something shiny
    Something meaty for the main course
    That's a fine looking high horse
    What you got in the stable?
    We've a lot of starving faithful (while the R@F are in poverty the GB are living in luxury traveling the world first class)

    When I saw the Lebron James commercial on tv, the lyrics really hit home. This song is not only my new gym anthem but also a song that helps me get thru tough times. Lol I had a feeling this would come up on the threads soon.

    Funny you would mention this...

    I was at a party last night and this song came on and a young person there said that line about sharpen your knives reminded them of their judicial meeting.

    Sad what this Org does to its young people.
