lyrics

Mary's not perfect and the Pope is not infallible.
She's not on a level with the Holy Trinity.
And he's not a Holy Father to the Church or you or me.
Saints are Christians not favourites on a pedestal
Visions aren't sent from God but come from the Devil.
Priests aren't sinless, only Christ can forgive at all.

U Q 4 Hell, you're in the Church of Rome.
U Q 4 Hell, it's your eternal home.
U Q 4 Hell with your funeral bell.
What do you queue for? You queue for Hell.

The priests would let no-one else read the Word
They didn't want the Truth to ever be heard.
They put their own interpretations into the Bible
And got their congregations to worship every idol.
There's enough gold in the vaults of the Vatican
To feed every starving Catholic woman and man.

U Q 4 Hell, you're in the Church of Rome…

Nobody needs rosary beads
Votive candles or Hail Marys.
You can't pray to angels or whatever else you're told
Nor turn to graven images or relics of this world.
You can never worship God through a mere man.
Popes were never part of the Divine Plan.

U Q 4 Hell, you're in the Church of Rome…

In World War Two concentration camps
Catholic priests became Commandants.
A Vatican group helped get
Nazi war criminals to South America.
The Spanish Civil War began
With peasant revolt against Catholic repression.

U Q 4 Hell, you worship and pray
To the wrong things and people every day.
U Q 4 Hell, no pause for Purgatory
As it only exists in a man-made fantasy.
