Should The Bible Be Banned
Encyclopedia
"Should The Bible Be Banned" was the sixth single by McCarthy
. Like many of the band's singles it did not appear on any of the band's studio albums.
The b-sides were "St. Francis Amongst The Mortals" and "We Are All Bourgeois Now". The latter was covered by the Manic Street Preachers
on their album Know Your Enemy
.
The title track recounts how a psychopath is inspired to kill his brother by reading the story of Cain and Abel in the Bible. The song's aim is to reduce to absurdity calls to ban books and films following certain well-publicised acts of violence.http://music.guardian.co.uk/readersrecommend/story/0,,2230348,00.html
