lyrics

We have all been accosted
By that person who claims to know everything
With absolute conviction

Well there is only one thing I would say to them
You had better take a big Step Back
I’ve no time for their self-righteous accusations
Before you preach to me of sin and salvation
You had better check yourself and Step Back
I’ve upgraded my defenses
Against your weaponized religion

Have you ever been berated by the know it all
Who claims to know the mind of a god
Spewing fluid statements of impeachable perfection

Well I have had my fill of insular proclamations
From bigots claiming moral superiority
We have suffered enough beratements
And social indignation
No more submission to Intellectual inferiority

Before you approach me with your bigotry
You had better step back
No more of your misogynistic diatribe
Just take a step back
Your Mind Forged Manacle is defunct
So take a step back

You have no control over me
With your mythological history
Superstition is an atrocity
And has no place in reality

Before you judge me
Take a big step back
Before you cast that first stone
Take a step back
