When you're not even mine to consider
Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious
Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves

Or in the dead of the night?
Sanctimonious promises broken
Hypocritical sin

Time: 4:32
You have done nothing but drown mens' soaring desires
In a deluge of sanctimonious morality
I was conceived of a jackal

Time: 2:24
Is a mystery to me (Duel in pools)
To Rembrandt and Oswald to peanuts and ketchup, sanctimonious sycophants stir in the bushes (Tantalize poets with visions of grandeur)
Up to the stand with your foot on the Bible, as king, I must order and constantly arouse (Their faces turn blue with the reek of the compost)

The sanctimonious, minions how they grovel at the feet
Authority (authority) is populist deceit

Time: 4:25
Anarchism to the visions
Sanctimonious condition
Vail of darkness has been lifted

Time: 1:48
Destined to rise for a grim revenge
Rise from beneath the sanctimonious

Big beat deliver me
From this sanctimonious skunk
We're no flaming angels

I can't be away from her, she my bitch, I'm saving her
Something 'bout her sanctimonious, I'm her savior
Love her body, ain't no holding in, I be shaping her

Pick up your guitar and look out at the crowd, and say
"Don't mean to come on sanctimonious
But life's got me nervous and little pugnacious

This sickening disease
You sanctimonious slime
Understanding discarded

Time: 2:14
Fat pig priest
Sanctimonious smiles
He takes the money

Time: 2:47
So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh, my darling, you forgive my inability to concentrate

Time: 0:19
It wasn't meant to be
Take a break from these sanctimonious songs
And bury their debris

Time: 1:37
Dwarven cleric praised his god, while he smashed my granny's skull
Moradin demands your blood!"-what a sanctimonious null
I'm just a little orc kid, with my tusks still growin' in

Time: 3:19
Cauterize the nest
Sanctimonious, false prophets look from above
Acid dripping down their halos, corroding the bugs

Time: 2:00
Four walls encase this mythology
Sanctimonious
As we fail to see
