Red Hot Chili Peppers - shallow be thy game

이 곡은 종교의 억압과 가짜 신앙에 대한 비판을 통해 진정한 사랑과 자유의 중요성을 강조한다
저자는 불필요한 죄책감과 두려움을 배척하며, 세상은 우리 모두의 것이며 자연의 법칙을 존중해야 한다고 주장한다
또한, 권력과 통제를 받지 않는 자신을 선언하며 모두에게 진리를 전한다

I was not created in the likeness of a fraud
Your Hell is something scary, I prefer a loving God
We are not the center of this funny universe
And what is worse, I do not serve in fear of such a curse
Shallow be thy game, 2000 years, look in the mirror
You play the game of shame and tell your people "live in fear"
A rival to the way you see, the Bible let him be
I'm a threat to your survival and your control company
You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me
I will be your heretic, yeah
You can't contain me, I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody
To anyone who's listening, you're not born into sin
The guilt they try and give you, puke it in the nearest bin
Missionary madness, sweep up culture with a broom
Trashing ancient ways is par for course, it's fuckin' rude
To think that you're above the laws of nature, what a joke
Oh, purple sashes, feeding masses, smoke on which to choke
I might be a monkey when it comes to being holy
Fundamental hatred, get down on your knees and-
