Young children searching for the better life
walk across bleak desert of poisonous snakes
to seek asylum in grand empire of money
while Christians who live in churches of glass,
whose prophet taught them to welcome the poor,
lock them in cages, next on Sick Sad World.

Wise women seeking sweet pleasures of life
dance and drink beer with their friends at the party
but boys spike their drinks and rape them all night,
then Christians scream and call them murderers
when they get abortions to maintain health
of their own bodies, next on Sick Sad World.

Strong men working in dangerous factories
forge metal for engines and vehicles
to earn enough to pay rent and buy food
while Christians call them lazy greedy moochers
when unions request good health benefits
to care for their kids, next on Sick Sad World.

Attentive teachers guiding minds of children
help them construct whole world view based on truth
with reading, writing, and arithmetic,
while Christians trying to defund public schools
shout that reason is enemy of faith
in their puppet God, next on Sick Sad World.
