Life Support - SOJA

Six days of work and on the seventh He rests

Of course, God is a man, only a man would do this

Of course, He created women for man himself

For, kids, and a rib, and for nothing else

Of course, Mary is a virgin, that’s what we say

We love when it never really was that way

Of course, Sodom and Gomorrah is going to hell

We can’t even start to understand ourselves

Of course, we’re going to war over love itself

Of course, God is a bullet flying low overhead

Of course, our enemies just don’t know God

Of course, that’s the reason that we’re going to war

But people remember Jesus and Mother Teresa

And Bob Marley lives instead of the preacher

You look in your heart, you can see the secret that

We needed love to live

So we’re on life support

It’s just life support

It’s only life support

Just life support

Yeah

The president is on a mission of war

Forgetting any of the reasons that we needed him for

And the priests and the sheikhs and the czars and the rabbis

Smile bright while we close the door

But Jesus wasn’t a Christian, Mohammed wasn’t a muslim, and

All we take is whatever it is we want from the news

As they interview showing Islam

And we say killing in the name of God is so fucking wrong

But then we kill for the oil and bury the teachers

Love what we’re taught to love by the preachers

And we seen it so much we fucking bought the t-shirt

And we know we’re right, so we don’t do no research."

Stop it, we should just goddamn drop it:

Two thousand years of the same old hypocrisy, is all I see

When all I need is love and peace

So I’m on life support

It’s just life support

It’s life support

It’s life support

Yeah, yeah

Uh

We teach competition and to beat them all

We teach accumulation, but what’s in your heart

Is love and compassion for all your kin

Every single movie ends you see the good guys win

Every indescribable song that you feel in your heart

Stronger than accumulation is compassion and love

Hard wired down to the core we are

Hard wired down to the cornea

We teach accumulation like it’s what we want

When children grow up, I see them acting just like us

But our vision is a glitch and it’s a fault to us

We never listen to our hearts, it’s just the thoughts we trust

But if you listen to your soul, you start to see it around

The weakest part of us, that’s the strongest part right now

And it’s a testament to both Testaments

Never say you’re fixing it, just to make it lesser than

Like life support
