the jester sang

The original video, for anyone who hasn't seen it:

And the relevant album cover:

Sessler was a teenager when "We're Not Gonna Take It" it was on the charts. Probably had MTV so he saw the video.

My religion is beautiful, my gods and goddesses are beautiful, unparalleled, and untamed. They instill in their children to never EVER bow down as if you are not equal. They encourage us to take our revenge when the world will not listen and tells us to forgive and forget. They tell us get up instead of "you poor thing". Our gods do not pity us, they stand with us. They look at us and see our potential, and our flaws and will still have a drink with us. They want us to accept ourselves instead of tear ourselves apart, piece by piece. "Why fix something that was never broken". Our gods listen to the worst parts of our story and still respect us. So don't tell me I am going to hell and be surprised when I say I hope so.
