1. Brian Phillip Welch (born June 19, 1970), better known as Head (although the official name of his solo project is Brian Head Welch), is an American musician best known as the former one of two guitarists of Korn, and a major influence in the rise of the nu metal movement. Welch left the band in 2005 due to contrasting personal beliefs, to focus on life as a father and a born again Christian. He has since embarked on an eponymous solo project, of which his debut solo album, Save Me from Myself, was released on September 9, 2008.

2. A Bristol, England-based band called Head existed in the late 1980s and included Gareth Sager (ex-Pop Group, Rip Rig & Panic, Float Up CP), and Nick Shephard (ex-The Cortinas, The Clash (mk 2), and The Spics), and Rich Beale (aka Clevedon Pier on Head's albums). They released three albums between 1987 of which the first - 'A Snog On The Rocks' - is the best place to enjoy their skewed, melodramatic, cabaret-inflected Pub Rock.

3. A "ramones-core" Seattle punk band ('90s - present) associated with Goner Records as well as their own Evil Clown Records.

4. A jazz rock / fusion band from Glasgow, who during the mid / late 70s issued 3 albums entitled GTF, Blackpool Cool and Red Dwarf. Highly recommended, yet obscure jazz rock fusion from an 'unlikely' source.

5. A 70s inspired psychedelic rock band from Maryland who released the five song Early Works - EP in 2021.

6. An electronic and lofi project by a portuguese solo artist under the name of HeaD.

When our final day dawns
And the world is going down
When there's nothing really left to fight for
Everybody be prepared
For a party so long
In the end we're all just gonna be dead
We got drinks and supplies
Enough to survive

At least for some days
In a drunk state
So don't you worry
About the aftermath
Cause we got the
PAPER
We got the toilet
PAPER
We got the toilet
PAPER
We got the toilet
Paper will save our ass
We party as long as it lasts
Maybe we're gonna die fast
But we'll do it with a clean ass
We got munchies and weed
Enough to get high
And keep it that way
At least for some nights
And if we gotta die
We gonna make it right
Cause we got the
PAPER
We got the toilet
PAPER
We got the toilet
PAPER
We got the toilet
Paper will save our ass
We party as long as it lasts
Maybe we're gonna die fast
But we'll do it with a clean ass
DIE FAST
With a clean ass
DIE FAST
With a clean ass
DIE FAST
With a clean ass

DIE FAST
With a clean ass

Overall Meaning

Head's song "Die Religion Die" is a darkly ironic and satirical take on the human obsession with organized religion, and the potential pointlessness of our belief systems when faced with the inevitable end of the world. The song lyrically sets the scene for the end of days when all is lost, and humans are left with few resources but a supply of "toilet paper," which becomes both a humorous and macabre symbol of the absurdity of our materialistic and bodily concerns.

The song suggests that in the face of an unavoidable and ultimate end, our differences and ideologies become meaningless, as we are all united in death. Head seems to be calling for a kind of hedonistic celebration in the face of annihilation, with partying, drinking, drugs, and food being presented as the only viable options in such dire circumstances. The song is an irreverent and nihilistic commentary on the human condition, urging us to embrace life while we can, but also reminding us of the fundamental futility of our existence when measured against the vastness of time and the ultimate pointlessness of our struggles.

Overall, "Die Religion Die" is a daring and provocative piece of social commentary, challenging us to question the very foundations of our belief systems and our notions of what it means to be alive. It is a song that encourages us to live in the moment, but to recognize the impermanence of all things, and the ultimate insignificance of our worldly concerns.

When our final day dawns
As we approach the end of our time on Earth

And the world is going down
As society collapses

When there's nothing really left to fight for
When all hope is lost

Everybody be prepared
Everyone should get ready

For a party so long
To celebrate before the end

In the end we're all just gonna be dead
Ultimately all of us will meet the same fate

We got drinks and supplies
We have enough provisions

Enough to survive
To make it through a little longer

At least for some days
For a short period of time

In a drunk state
While under the influence

So don't you worry
There's no need to fret
