Daniel Jonathan “Dan” Stevens (born 10 October 1982) is a British actor.
Stevens was adopted at birth and had a rebellious youth. He has a younger brother who was also adopted.
Stevens boarded at Tonbridge School, a public school in Kent, where he became interested in drama after auditioning for the title role in Macbeth with his teacher, novelist Jonathan Smith (father of cricketer Ed Smith). Stevens went on to read English Literature at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and narrowly missed out on a first despite devoting much of his time to theatre during his final year. While at Cambridge he was a member of the Footlights and gained acting experience with the National Youth Theatre. He was first spotted by acclaimed director Sir Peter Hall during a student production.
Stevens has worked extensively in theatre in Britain and the United States, working with Peter Hall many times. He was nominated for an Ian Charleson Award for his portrayal of Orlando in As You Like It for the Peter Hall Company in 2005.
Telephone ringing at your home again
Give them
Your donation
You do
The best you can
These motherfuckers
Get you in their game, playing with your prayers
Religion is a gun
Kill'em all
Behind sweet talks one sacred farce
Peace for the world for your money to bring
My friend you're a loser
Many ways to be a good man
Helping the poor to find a good life
Rich life
For the fake
Fake
This, the path to your salvation
When will you finally understand?
What a reason for donations!
Guilt you feel for exploitation
Damage your checkbook has to repair
Maybe you should take the pain
Pay the price
Or ask yourself the worth of your bought prayers
Heaven for a price
Mansions and limousines
Jets and filthy yatchs
Your guilt -
Maintained to keep them fat
Dig deep
Your pocket has no end
They drop their pants and you will bend
Your home
Your car
Sell your kids and you'll go far
Your life
A hole
What's gone now returns above
Abandon all reason
Freeze your flesh and blood
And then when you're in heaven
You will sadly realize
Abandon all reason
Freeze your flesh and blood
You will sadly realize
