Candi Carpenter – American God (Official Music Video)

Official Music Video for American God by Candi Carpenter

We will never repent; we choose dissent. No god, no king, no autocrat will ever make me bow in fearful worship again. I am my own church, and so are you.

Featuring Jane Wiedlin, the only existing demi-goddess in this universe. https://www.instagram.com/janewiedlin

Lyrics:
In the beginning god created
C_NT

I had a dream I died and went to heaven
It was full of conservatives, ewww
They were drinking their grape juice out of little thimble cups
They were driving their Teslas on the moon

I had a dream I died and went to hell
It was fun, it was light, it was free
The little demons were dancing to a secular beat
It was hot but not too hot for me

I fell from heaven
It didn’t hurt
I pledge f_ck you to the American god
I am my own church
I fell from heaven
It didn’t hurt
I pledge f_ck you to the American god
I am my own church

Speak in tongues make it gay
I wanna pray the straight away
On my knees night and day
I wanna pray the straight away
Speak in tongues make it gay
I wanna pray the straight away
On my knees night and day
I wanna pray the straight away

I don’t hate Mondays I hate capitalism
I don’t hate Sundays I hate evangelicalism
And I don’t hate Wednesdays ‘cuz I love the humps
I don’t hate people I hate people who suck

The bible is too okay with inc3st
Turn your cross upside down and sit on it
‘Cuz a real sky daddy wouldn’t get so mad
And he’d always ask consent for punishment

I fell from heaven
It didn’t hurt
I pledge f_ck you to the American god
I am my own church
I fell from heaven
It didn’t hurt
I pledge f_ck you to the American god
I am my own church

Speak in tongues make it gay
I wanna pray the straight away
On my knees night and day
I wanna pray the straight away
Speak in tongues make it gay
I wanna pray the straight away
On my knees night and day
I wanna pray the straight away
(yeah yeah yeah)
Straight away
(yeah yeah yeah)

This is the transfiguration
F_ck you to the American god

I fell from heaven
It didn’t hurt
I pledge f_ck you to the American god
I am my own church
I fell from heaven
It didn’t hurt
I pledge f_ck you to the American god
I am my own church
