Fanatic (With or Against)

We all know one.

We gotta change them

Gotta keep them clean

Gotta put them on the spot

Whether they like it or not

You burn hickory sticks

We burn heretics

You burn hickory sticks 

We burn heretics

We gotta be forgiving

Gotta love our fellow man

We got a chip on our shoulder

Gonna get worse as we get older

You burn hickory sticks

We burn heretics

We gotta be faithful

Gotta get purified

We gotta be docile and fit

We gotta swallow s**t

You burn hickory sticks

We burn heretics

We gotta be vengeful

Gotta learn to kill

We gotta learn to hate

We gotta discriminate

You burn hickory sticks

We burn heretics

You burn hickory sticks

We burn heretics

Author's Note

This is not criticizing religion itself, just the fanatics and bigots who use religion to do harm to others.

Hickory sticks and heretics... sounds like a rock group...

The "burning" intention is evident here. I'd speak a little more specifically about what your burning intention addresses, define the focus of your passion, don't deflect it.

I love the repetitive lines throughout, it seems like a really good rage song. I loved reading this.

Wow, you have touched this subject very well. I feel the same way. I like the rhyme, it flows so nicely. Very well penned.
