Lyrics

(Don't Need) Religion

I don't need no blind belief

I don't need no comic relief

I don't need to see no scars

I don't need Jesus Christ Superstar

Don't need Sunday Television

You bet your life I don't need religion

And I'll tell you something else

I don't need no time for prayer

Don't save no knee-pads for me up there

If your head's alright

You don't need binoculars to see the light

You don't need no miracle vision

You bet your life you don't need religion

I don't need no Santa Claus

And I don't believe in fairies no more

I don't need to go to confession

I'm already trying to fight depression

I don't need no exorcism

Bet your life I don't need religion
