Lyrics

I follow no religion
I can't believe it's all true
No cosmic creator
No filius, pater
No Zeus and no Allah
No Offler and no IPU
Ain't no such thing as Heaven
It's just another lie
Spun to mislead us
As we pray God will heed us
But God never shows
And I always end up asking "why?"
Asking why...

Why do men fight for religion
Why do men die for belief
Don't force on me your holy laws
'Cause I ain't gonna fight in your holy wars
And I ain't gonna die for your holy cause
Oh, no
After all these lies
We should applaud?
Is it just a game
In the name of the Lord
In the name of the Lord


Protestant and Catholic
Hindu, Muslim and Jew
Their gods say "Don't Kill"
Yet in their God's name, they will
And still He does nothing
Hell, maybe He does want them to...
When man thought up religion
Why couldn't he get it right?
All through our history
Is so full of misery
While the priests sermonize
Holier than thou, whiter than white
Can they really believe?

Why do men fight for religion
Why do men kill for belief
I don't believe in your holy boss
I ain't gonna follow your holy cross
Don't want to paint myself with your holy gloss
Oh no
Condemned by a lie
Millions put to the sword
To face slaughter [death]
In the name of the lord
In the name of the lord




For you who believe and hear this song
I didn't write it just to try and tell you you're wrong
But you are, you know, and have been all along...
