Against The Grain

You wanna strangle me, then here's my neck
You ain't got the strength to flex so fess
You wanna get all up in my destiny
Haughty rules and words that hinder me
Go and teach men's commandments from afar
It's who you are and you dare
Build a dam on the spiritual real your ruling is appealedI've been sent to your boat to rock it
Men flood hell while your hands are in your pocket
You separate from the life source and endorse
And force secret religious codes like Morse
Constraints, why do you seize us? Just give me Jesus
I'll be free in this unruly world nowhere to hide, I'm going untiedSuffocation, where's it come from
Exhalation, throw religionI go up against the grain
I go up against the grain
I go up against the grain
I go up against the grainYou're like boa constriction, don't lube the friction
Spiritual got impeached like Nixon
Anorexic generation X result by default the inner man assault
Beat to a pulp confined from the river and no limbs for the body
Prodigals are being forced to eat pig's food
When the church has a feast for this starving crewYou cannot ever muzzle me from reprimanding what puzzles me
The rigid formalities of mankind that choke the hidden man
As you proclaim, "Let us make God in our own image"
And when you're finished you've manipulated my passion
I'll come out thrashing
The sky turns red as I migraine the headSuffocation, where's it come from
Exhalation, throw religionI go up against the grain
I go up against the grain
I go up against the grain
I go up against the grainYour liberty is what we need
Father set us free
Your liberty is what we need
So set us freeI go up against the grain, I'm untied
Go up against the grain
I go up against the grain, I'm untied
Go up against the grainSuffocation, where's it come from
Exhalation, throw religion
Suffocation, where's it come from
Exhalation, throw religion
