    My picks, some with partial lyrics:

    The Witness Song by Nick Cave

    "Now, who will be the witness
    When you're all to blind to see"

    Religion by P.I.L

    Christianity is Stupid by Negativland
    I'm Not Jesus by The Ramones

    Never Go Back by Camper Van Beethoven

    Leper Messiah by Metallica

    Marvel at his trick, need your Sunday fix
    Blind devotion came, rotting your brain
    Chain, chain
    Join the endless chain, taken by his glamour
    Fame, fameInfection is the game, stinking drunk with power
    We see
    Time for lust, time for lie
    Time to kiss your life goodbye
    Send me money, send me green
    Heaven you will meet
    Make a contribution
    And you’ll get a better seat
    Bow to leper messiah


    Save Yourself by Hemi

    "You self righteous shit,
    Why don't you just,
    Save Yourself, Save Yourself

    wish i had that song on hand, the whole song is amazing.

    Fuck Armageddon, This is Hell by Bad Religion

    they hide behind their lies that they're helping everyone.
    in the end the good will go to heaven up above,
    the bad will perish in the depths of hell.
    how can hell be any worse when life alone is such a curse?
    fuck armageddon, this is hell.
    we're living in the denouement of the battle's gripping awe,
    so what's the use of being good to satisfy them all?
    how could hell be any worse? life alone is such a curse!
    fuck armageddon, this is hell.

    Spiritual Law by D.I.

    "Confess your evils to the man
    he'll do everything he can
    don't go to mass you'll go to hell
    we'll all be there it'll be swell

    .... it's such a game
    ive seen better shows
    on my tv
    they'll say the world's winding up
    satans fire is coming up
    don't be hold your breath
    you'll die just like the rest

    .... no where to run and hide
    tried to get away you'll be fried
    you only got one chance left
    on your knees sip the wine chew the wafer...

    spiritual law, no way,
    i wanna see christ today
    spiritual law, no way
    i wanna see christ today

    If it makes you happy - Sheryl Crow

    My wife would sing this about the "Truth". The song itself is about anything else, but the Chorus fits. Why were we so unhappy if we were supposed to be happy.

    The Way - Fastball

    They made up their minds
    And they started packing
    They left before the sun came up that day
    An exit to eternal summer slacking
    But where were they going without ever
    Knowing the way?

    They drank up the wine
    And they got to talking
    They now had more important things to say
    And when the car broke down they started walking
    Where were they going without ever
    Knowing the way?

    [Chorus:]
    Anyone can see the road that they walk on
    Is paved in gold
    And it's always summer
    They'll never get cold
    They'll never get hungry
    They'll never get old and grey
    You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
    They won't make it home
    But they really don't care
    They wanted the highway
    They're happier there today, today

    Their children woke up
    And they couldn't find them
    They left before the sun came up that day
    They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
    But where were they going without ever
    Knowing the way?

    And if you save yourself
    You will make him happy

    He'll keep you in a jar
    And you'll think you're happy
    He'll give you breathing holes
    And you'll think you're happy
    He'll cover you with grass
    And you'll think you're happy
    Now

    You're in a laundry room (x2)
    Conclusion came to you
    Ahh

    And if you cut yourself
    You will think you're happy
    He'll keep you in a jar
    And you'll make him happy
    He'll give you breathing holes
    And you'll think you're happy
    He'll cover you with grass
    And you'll think you're happy
    Now

    (x2)
    You're in a laundry room (x2)
    Conclusion came to you
    Ahh

    And if you fool yourself
    You will make him happy
    He'll keep you in a jar
    And you'll think you're happy
    He'll give you breathing holes
    Then you will think you're happy
    You'll wallow in your shit
    Then you'll think you're happy
    Now
