This song was written by Billie Joe Armstrong after Mike Dirnt went to a church to see a friend’s child get baptized. Apparently he was “Disgusted by the hatred and hypocrisy there.”. It bugged him for a few days so he asked Billie if he could write an anti-religious song. Billie agreed and wrote th...
[Intro]
"Reberu rajio!"
“Loss-”
"¡La última noche!"
“Me-”
"And we will see how Godless a nation we have become."
(...em sseug dnoceS) ...em tset t'noD
[Verse 1]
Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
You're a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that's been sodomized, well
(Stand up!) All the white boys
(Sit down!) And the black girls
(Stand up!) You're the soldiers
(Sit down!) Of the new world
[Pre-Chorus]
Put your faith in a miracle
And it's non-denominational
Join the choir, we'll be singin'
In the church of wishful thinkin'
[Chorus]
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
[Verse 2]
Oh, bless me, Lord, for I have sinned
It's been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in the river of a shadow of doubt
And I'll be dressed up in my Sunday best
[Pre-Chorus]
Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Ain't this uniform so flatterin'?
I never asked you a goddamn thing!
[Chorus]
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
[Bridge]
Don't test me
Second-guess me
Protest me, you will disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know who's allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
The missionary politicians
And the cops of the new religion!
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside
[Outro]
Yeah!

This song is just kind of a, a call-out against the hypocrisy of religion. I don’t think it’s necessarily a particular religion but just in general, there’s just a lot of hypocrisy that goes along with it. Whether you’re using it as a vendetta or you’re using it for monetary gain or whatever – peopl...
