Song Description

He could have used love instead of Religion

Lyrics

Religion
Your son is damaged goods He avoids being understood
Sinking like dead wood Smothered with rejection
You preach the fear of sin then ignore his suffering
Now you sit & wonder why he wants to burn your house down
Oh yes he wants to burn your house down

Chorus
Religion is bliss religion is blind
But this g-d fearing women act is a sinfull disguise
You choose your punishment thats your decision
But he could have used love instead of religion
ya he could have used love instead of religion
Verse

In the dark he sits alone thirsty as a dying rose
While your ripping all your clothes just greiving for jerusalem
& while your hands are trapped in prayer his soul is lost & scared
Now you sit & wonder why he wants to burn your house down
oh yes he wants to burn your house down


Chorus
religion is bliss religion is blind
But this g-d fearing women act is a sinfull disguise
You choose your punishment thats your decision
But he could have used love instead of religion
He could have used love instead of religion

Bridge Im sick & tired of the misinterpretation
Being touted as the letter of the law
Well damn that brand of self righteous indignation
When did original sin erase original thought


Chorus
Religion is bliss religion is blind
And this g-d fearing women act is a sinfull disguise
If you choose your punishment thats your decision
But he could have used love instead of religion
He could have used love could have used lovelove love
Instead of religion instead of religion instead of religion
Otro your son is damaged goods
