Punk-Prayer "Virgin Mary, Put Bloomberg Away"

Pussy Rioters of NYC have performed a protest musical piece in Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Following are the lyrics:

New York's Saint Patrick's Cathedral (choir) Virgin Mary, Mother of God, put Bloomberg awayРut Bloomberg away, put Bloomberg away

(end chorus)

...Black robe, golden epaulettesAll parishioners crawl to bow

The phantom of liberty is in heaven

Homeless people get one way tickets

The protector enabler of wall street speculators , their chief saint,

Leads protesters maced with news fotogs chased

In order not to offend His shortness

Homeless must clear the street- that's leave!

Shit, shit, the Lord's shit!

(Chorus) Virgin Mary, Mother of God, become a feminist

Become a feminist, become a feminist

(end chorus)

The Church’s praise of rotten dictators

From Joe McCarthy to Frankie Franco

A teacher-preacher will meet you at school

Go to class - bring him boy tush!

Cardinal Dolan believes in Bloomberg

Bitch, better believe in God instead

The belt of the Virgin can’t replace mass-meetings

Mary, Mother of God, is with us in protest!

(Chorus)

Virgin Mary, Mother of God, put Bloomberg away

Рut Bloomberg away, put Bloomberg away (end chorus)

We have paid thousands of lives to obtain this freedom.

From the 18th Century to now.

Putin doesn't understand free speech. He is a man of hierarchy. He is also the uncultivated norm for humanity -- minimizes the need to think.

ummmm Pussy Riot staged this (unauthorized of course) "protest concert" including "Shit shit the Lord's Shit!" in the main cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church. The video flips the script. Instead of Moscow the (unauthorized) protest is in St. Patrick's Cathedral in NY. Instead of attacking the top cleric in the Russian church and the President of Russia the video puts the Cardinal of the Catholic Church in NYC and Mayor Bloomberg in their steads. The question is how you think that concert would end up for the performers. The reason for the question is that this website had supported the "protest concert" in Moscow, and now three of the performers are on trial with very serious charges facing them. I'd like to see Sting, for example, who supports the "protest" to pull something like that off in St. Paul's in London. Lots of luck....
