That's almost as shit as this:

Politicians kissing babies for good luck,
TV preachers sell salvation for a buck.
You don't need no golden cross to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

Only just saw this thread, and this is the first song that came to my head
