lyrics

it’s the day of atonement, 2001

it’s the day of atonement, 2001
and i’m sorry for anything i might have done
i’m sorry for everything we’ve left to do
i’m sorry we’re still so confused

well, i never had faith - so, we’ll never be safe
we never were safe anyway
it’s just that the veil was ripped from our face
on such a beautiful day

(chorus) mohommed is pacing
when he isn’t kneeling
jesus can’t talk
he’s too busy weeping
yahweh’s a mother
who sighs at the ceiling
if only they knew how good it could’ve been

it’s the day of atonement 2004
would jesus be happy we evened the score
you hypocrites, bullies who profit from war
may your gods all spit on your graves

i say all of you gods
tell your squabbling children
whatever the color or call
they can all go to hell (if there is such a thing)
go to hell
have it out
have a ball

(instrumental)

(chorus) mohommed is pacing
when he isn’t kneeling
jesus can’t talk
he’s too busy weeping
yahweh’s a mother
who sighs at the ceiling
if only they knew how good it could’ve been

i say all of you gods
tell your squabbling children
whatever the color or call
you can all go to hell (if there is such a thing)
go to hell
have it out
have a ball

Dayna Kurtz New Orleans, Louisiana

Dayna Kurtz is the kind of artist who inspires wild-eyed zealotry among her fans, and there are 3 reasons for it: 1, she's an artist's artist, one whose whiskeyed, determined alto often earns her comparisons with Nina Simone; 2 while Europeans adore her, she's obscenely underappreciated in her own country; and 3, her songs straddle a difficult space between jazz, rock, and folk, & are pure poetry. ... more
