La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Played it safe and went to school
You did what mother and father taught you to
Used another man’s one-up tools
Taught you nothin’
Out along the great divide
You keep the other boys awake all night
Spread out as thin as crackin’ ice
Taught you nothin’
Taught you nothin’, woo!
Maniac, am I just a toy?
The boat we were in had been capsized
From the giant wave of all the lies
They taught me somethin’
Oh, they taught you nothin’, oh!
