• red hot chili peppers ın 1995 çıkışlı one hot minute albümünde yer alan 12 numaralı şarkısı. ismi itibariyle efsanevi iron maiden şarkılarından number of the beast - hallowed be thy name i hatırlatıyor.
  
  rhcp şarkısının sözleri şu şekildedir :
  
  i was not created
  in the likeness of a fraud
  your hell is something scary
  i prefer a loving god
  we are not the center
  of this funny universe
  and what is something worse
  i do not serve
  in fear of such a curse
  
  shallow be thy game
  2000 years look in the mirror
  you play the game of shame
  and tell your people live in fear
  
  a rival to the way you see
  the bible let him be
  i'm a threat to your survival
  and your control company
  
  [chorus:]
  you'll never burn me
  you'll never burn me
  i'll be your heretic
  you can't contain me
  i am the power free
  truth belongs to everybody
  
  to anyone who's listenin'
  you're not born into sin
  the guilt they try and give you
  puke it in the nearest bin
  
  missionary maddness
  sweep up culture w/ a broom
  trashing ancient ways
  is par for the course
  it's fucking rude
  
  to think that you're above
  the laws of nature is a joke
  purple sashes feeding masses
  smoke on which to choke
  
  i might be a monkey
  when it comes to being holy
  fundamental hatred
  get down on your knees and
  
  [chorus]
