Love Thy Neighbor

This is a song parody by David Hammond. It is based on Honor Thy Father by Dream Theater.

You say unconditional love
Perfection that never can falter
And omnipotence somehow absolves
From the world suffering, Hailed at the altar

You pretend that yours is unique
And even believe most are with you
But are always threatened by some
Who question if what you know is really true

You take advantage of an ancient book
And, twisting it to meet your every need
You can force it to squeeze through anything
And make it last forever dispite science and reasoning

Well listen to me, egocentric fool
Here comes a dose of reality
You'll go to your grave and you will only rot
Because what we have here is the only life we've got

On and on and on and on it goes
It's so easy to look away when you are promised gold

How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that you have seen the true light
And have the nerve to say I'll burn in flames?

Never in my life have I seen someone
So ignorant and closed-minded as you've become
Armageddon will be yours to blame, yeah

I try to show you, on my knees
You won't let me begin
You run and shut yourself inside your selfish shell again

Expecting everyone to live by your beliefs
Don't you see they aren't universal motifs
Rejecting everyone in order to hold on
Such a shame that all your free will is gone

On and on and on and on it goes
Sure seems more and more these days that only Heaven knows

How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that you have seen the true light
And have the balls to say I'll burn in flames?

Never in my life have I seen someone
Oblivious and closed-minded as you've become
Armageddon will be yours to blame, yeah

Watch what you say
Don't you dare trust the human mind
Watch what you pray
Don't trust the human mind

On and on and on an on it goes
Hypocritic, thoughtless, foolish, sold

How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that you have seen the true light
And have the balls to say I'm damned to flames?

Never in my life have a I seen someone
So fucking blind and closed-minded as you've become
Armageddon will be yours to blame, yeah
