Infidel
Unless you think as they do there's nothing but a lie.
Unless you think as they do
there's no pie-in-the-sky.
Unless you feel as they do you have no gift to give.
Unless you feel as they do
you have no right to live.
Unless you act as they do all malice is finespun.
Unless you act as they do
all purpose is undone.
Unless you rule as they do everybody's ill-bred.
Unless you rule as they do
everybody's mislead.
Unless you dress as they do there's contrariety.
Unless you dress as they do
there's impropriety.
Unless you trust as they do you are going to h***.
Unless you trust as they do
you are an infidel.
