  Do you know of any song titles or lyrics that could be humorously or not so humourously applied to the WTS and the JWs in general.
  
  For example Madonna's "Papa don't preach" can be applied to the Governing Body for their hypocrisy.
  
  Jennifer Lopez from the song "Ain't it funny":
  
  "Ain't it strange when you are feeling things you shouldn't feel"
  
  
  For exJWs having mixed feelings about the org.

  Everybody's fool By Evanescence (relate to fooling people)

  "perfect by nature
  icons of self indulgence
  just what we all need
  more lies about a world that
  
  never was and never will be
  have you no shame don't you see me
  you know you've got everybody fooled
  
  look here she comes now
  bow down and stare in wonder
  oh how we love you
  no flaws when you're pretending
  but now i know she
  
  never was and never will be
  you don't know how you've betrayed me
  and somehow you've got everybody fooled
  
  without the mask where will you hide
  can't find yourself lost in your lie
  
  i know the truth now
  i know who you are
  and i don't love you anymore
  
  it never was and never will be
  you don't know how you've betrayed me
  and somehow you've got everybody fooled
  
  it never was and never will be
  you're not real and you can't save me
  somehow now you're everybody's fool"

  Missing by Evanescence (relating to shunning and disfellowship)

  Please, please forgive me,
  But I won't be home again.
  Maybe someday you'll look up,
  And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
  "Isn't something missing?"
  
  You won't cry for my absence, I know -
  You forgot me long ago.
  Am I that unimportant...?
  Am I so insignificant...?
  Isn't something missing?
  Isn't someone missing me?
  
  [Chorus:]
  Even though I'm the sacrifice,
  You won't try for me, not now.
  Though I'd die to know you love me,
  I'm all alone.
  Isn't someone missing me?
  
  Please, please forgive me,
  But I won't be home again.
  I know what you do to yourself,
  I breathe deep and cry out,
  "Isn't something missing?
  Isn't someone missing me?"
  
  [Chorus]
  
  And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
  Knowing you don't care.
  And if I sleep just to dream of you
  I'll wake without you there,
  Isn't something missing?
  Isn't something...
