CBS put on an anti-religion jeremiad early Thursday morning on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson: a feminist musician who likes “wearing and making something Satanic since music is so not right now.”
Piano-banging rock singer Kristeen Young made her late-night TV debut, accompanied by Foo Fighters stars Dave Grohl and Pat Smear. She sang the song “Pearl of a Girl” that criticizes Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, but most gratuitously proclaims about Jesus “I wish the virgin would’ve had an abortion.” [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
It’s a bit hard to make out in Kristeen’s ranty performance on CBS, but here are the anti-religious lyrics:
I never knew I was a girl until they stopped to tell me
I never knew I was disturbed until they dropped three volumes on me
But in the Bible/Torah/Quran there are really no good roles for me except concubine and wash woman
I used to be the sad one now I just wanna stab them it’s so severe its brutal….
They’ve needed to have the law so they can legally bind us
They’ve needed to have the church so they can morally ground us
They’ve needed most of the dough they must be so scared of us
So their stories are of ghosts I only wish the virgin would’ve had an abortion.
Using their best sales pitch, the NPR station in New York calls this music“beguiling and visceral.”
In an interview with Paper magazineabout the outfits she designs for herself, Young announced “I felt like wearing and making something Satanic since music is so not right now. Even Ozzy’s like the loveable, silly uncle next door.
She added:
The skirt’s pattern, which I painted on, represents the symbols of three major religions…but I’ve defaced them. The cross and the half moon are upside down and I sewed little metal pieces on the star points of the Star of David to look like blades making it like a martial arts throwing star weapon. The fabric and pattern of the skirt is the same as the lining of the jacket. I got the idea from what silent film star, Theda Bara, was wearing in one of her movies. I wear this outfit in much of the upcoming “Pearl of a Girl” video. The song is about the centuries of religious persecution (and again, triumph) of women.
Young also mocked the crucifix in this video promo:
The lyrics to “Pearl of a Girl” are more obvious in the recorded version:

REPARATION IS NEEDED!!
Act of Reparation to
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to
repair the outrages unceasingly offered to Thee,
we prostrate before Thy throne of mercy, and in the
name of all mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee!
The more Thy mysteries are blasphemed, the more firmly
we shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of Jesus!
The more impiety endeavors to extinguish our hopes of
immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy Heart,
sole hope of mankind! The more hearts resist Thy
Divine attractions, the more we shall love Thee,
O infinitely amiable Heart of Jesus! The more unbelief
attacks Thy Divinity, the more humbly and profoundly we shall adore It,
O Divine Heart of Jesus! The more Thy Sacraments are
despised and abandoned, the more frequently
we shall receive them with love and reverence, O most
liberal Heart of Jesus!
The more the imitation of Thy virtues is neglected and
forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to practice them, O Heart,
model of every virtue! The more the devil labors to
destroy souls, the more w shall be inflamed with desire to save them,
O Heart of Jesus, zealous Lover of souls! The more sin
and impurity destroy the image of God in man,
the more we shall try by purity of life to be a living
temple of the Holy Spirit, O Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Holy Church is despised, the more we
shall endeavor to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Vicar on earth is persecuted, the more we
will honor him as the infallible head of Thy Holy Church,
show our fidelity and pray for him, O kingly Heart of
Jesus!
O Sacred Heart, through Thy powerful grace, may we
become Thy apostles in the midst of a corrupted world,
and be Thy crown in the kingdom of heaven. Amen.
REPARATION TO:
THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
Most glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, turn thine eyes in
pity upon us, miserable sinners; we are sore afflicted by the many evils that
surround us in this life, but especially do we feel our hearts break within us
upon hearing the dreadful insults and blasphemies uttered against thee, O
Virgin Immaculate. O how these impious sayings offend the infinite Majesty of
God and of His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ! How they provoke His
indignation and give us cause to fear the terrible effects of His vengeance!
Would that the sacrifice of our lives might avail to put an end to such
outrages and blasphemies; were it so, how gladly we should make it, for we
desire, O most holy Mother, to love thee and to honor thee with all our hearts,
since this is the will of God. And just because we love thee, we will do all
that is in our power to make thee honored and loved by all men. In the meantime
do thou, our merciful Mother, the supreme comforter of the afflicted, accept
this our act of reparation which we offer thee for ourselves and for all our
families, as well as for all who impiously blaspheme thee, not knowing what
they say. Do thou obtain for them from Almighty God the grace of conversion,
and thus render more manifest and more glorious thy kindness, thy power and thy
great mercy. May they join with us in proclaiming thee blessed among women, the
Immaculate Virgin and most compassionate Mother of God.
Hail Mary three times.
