Skammentary: While at first blush "Holy Smoke" might appear to be an anti-religious song, closer examination reveals a repulsion a hypocritical religiosity, a complaint near & dear to our Savior's Sacred Heart & a key feature of his Earthly ministry. Thus, we here at The Secret Base think "Holy Smoke" a fine R.B.D.S.O.T.D. for the Lord's Day.
"Fast at passing judgment and quick to cast a stone,
Hypocrite talking shit, leave me alone,
Thump the book and twist the word,
You're setting sinners straight,
Point your finger, wag your tongue,
Then pass around the plate…
"Holy smoke! Is this a joke?
I mean, man, you're on the move,
Shut 'em up and shut 'em down
If you don't approve,
Cuss and curse and stuff your purse,
And tell me where I'm goin',
Holy cow, man, don't stop now,
Your bank account is growin'…"
