Sunday School

"Sunday School" ''Seventh and final track from Cane Hill First single, released October 8th, 2014''

''“Sunday School”, when we were writing, it was a really personal song. It’s one of the few introspective songs we have actually. And the blunt truth is I think religion has poisoned society as a whole. It’s the basis of a patriarchal world that indoctrinates children into a mindset that’s so narrow. It feeds the ideas of homophobia, and misogyny, and racism. I mean I went to a school where I was taught at the age of 11 that the earth was 6000 years old and being gay was caused by demons inside of them for Christ’s sake (excuse the irony there). The funny thing is that I’ve gotten a lot of slack about being so absolutely against the religious at shows, and that I’m trying to force my beliefs on people, but I’m really just trying to make more people aware of why the world is so completely and utterly in shambles and that you can trace it back to the very beginnings of religion.'' - vocalist Elijah Witt -
