Culling is the second and final song of Lamb Of God’s 2016 EP “The Duke”.
The track dates back to WRATH album as an unreleased track then.
It exposes how politicians manipulate the people by converting religion to fit with their goals only considering the negative results as collateral damage.
[Verse 1]
Bearing westward, hell-bound on old 66
I'm out for answers, wind up with just bloody kicks
A pocket Jesus to light your path
A techno-messiah, enraptured crash
[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't make this shit up
The truth is bad enough
Out in the heartlands, a smoking wreck
Of ill-raised children and lost respect
[Chorus]
Let me sell you illusions of concern
An endless loop of drown and burn
Worship while we tell you lies to your face
The bottom line, a cheap disgrace
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Electro-lemmings line up to storm the cliff
The paying victims create a rapid shift
To empty commerce and wasted words
A celebration of the thinning herd
[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't make this shit up
The truth is bad enough
Out in the heartlands, a smoking wreck
Of ill-raised children and lost respect
[Chorus]
Let me sell you illusions of concern
An endless loop of drown and burn
Worship while we tell you lies to your face
The bottom line, a cheap disgrace
[Bridge]
It's a fucking disgrace
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't make this shit up
The truth is bad enough
Out in the heartlands, a smoking wreck
Of ill-raised children and lost respect
[Chorus]
Let me sell you illusions of concern
An endless loop of drown and burn
Worship while we tell you lies to your face
The bottom line, a cheap disgrace
Bearing westward, I couldn't make this shit up
I'm out for answers
Worship while we tell you lies to your face
The bottom line, a cheap disgrace
[Outro]
It's a cheap disgrace
