Lyrics
I've been looking for religion but my head keeps saying no,
My heart's been crying out to know which way it needs to go.
If I'm good will I be saved ,
Will it matter anyway,
And what's the price that we all pay.
Well I believe that I believe that love can coquer all,
That givers shall themselves receive while lesser men shall fall.
But do we waist our lives to find that Heaven's just a state of mind,
No truer word than "Faith is blind"
BUT YOU'RE DOOMED BOY
IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE THE WORD
READ THE GOOD BOOK WELL OR YOU'LL BURN IN HELL
THAT'S THE POLITICS OF GOD.
There've been generations waiting for the "Prince of Peace" to come.
They take the bread then drink the wine,
made free to sin again,
Yet if He came I'm sure he'd see,
We wouldn't treat him differently,
Still cries of shame & Herassy.
BUT YOU'RE DOOMED BOY
IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE THE WORD
READ THE GOOD BOOK WELL OR YOU'LL BURN IN HELL
THAT'S THE POLITICS OF GOD.
(J. EDGAR HOOVER'S SPEACH)
It's in Gods name we face our brothers on the battlefield,
Each man believes he's on their side so niether side can yield
How many times must swords be crossed,
How many more young lives be lost.
God sets the price, they pay the cost.
Yet I've been looking for religion and my head's still saying no
I've seen it used too many times as a line we're made to tow,
If God is concience, if God is good
I'm sure he'd want it understood,
His name can't be written with a soliers blood.
BUT YOU'RE DOOMED BOY
IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE THE WORD
READ THE GOOD BOOK WELL OR YOU'LL BURN IN HELL
THAT'S THE POLITICS OF GOD.
YES, YOU'RE DOOMED BOY
IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE THE WORD
READ THE GOOD BOOK WELL OR YOU'LL BURN IN HELL
THAT'S THE POLITICS OF GOD.
But i've been looking for religion.
