(1996)"Shallow Be Thy Game" is a song by the
Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1995 album "One Hot Minute ". It was released as a single only inAustralia , bearing the same photograph on the front cover as the "Coffee Shop" single released in the rest of the world.The song's lyrics reject
organized religion in general but particularlyChristianity (with a subjective reference toGalileo 's support ofheliocentrism ). The song speaks againstmissionaries pushing their ideas on people who don't want them, and the song's name itself is a derogatorypun on the Christian phrase "Hallowed be thy Name" from theLord's Prayer .The original working title for "Shallow Be Thy Game" was called "Epic."
