Plastic God
Abismo Cavado e Medicado
They sold me a piece of heaven so I could endure this hell
They told me to pray
While they were stealing from me
Faith has become a commodity
Tithing became a prison
And salvation comes at a price
With a credit card in hand
Sartre said
If God doesn't exist, I am responsible
For everything I do
For every miserable gesture
But they taught me to wait
For a miracle that never comes
While life goes by
And the misery continues too
Plastic God
Sold on the shelf
Plastic God
Faith that's become a banner
They promised me heaven
So I'd keep quiet on earth
Plastic God
And hunger gives no respite
The pastor has a private jet
The faithful have only pain
Promises of prosperity
For those who sweat it out
They use the sacred name
To exploit despair
And anyone who questions faith
Is treated like the lost lamb
I don't deny those who believe
I deny those who use belief
As a weapon of control
As a wall
As a sentence
Condemned to be free
But they want me on my knees
Free to think
But they want me silenced
Plastic God
Sold on the shelf
Plastic God
Faith that's become a flag
Pray and obey
I won't get down on my knees
Donate and believe
I won't support it
Wait for the miracle
I'll save myself on my own
There's no God in plastic
There's only man exploiting
I smash the idol
I tear off the blindfold
I raise my head
I am responsible for myself
I don't wait for heaven
I build the ground
The faith that saves me
Is the one I build with my own hands
