Translation of One - SOJA

I’m not saying that I’ve got it all figured out,

I’m just saying that most people

seem to be without a doubt

so scared to death of what they just don’t understand —

you know they been doing that one since the dawning of man —

if you need the union of marriage that the bible portrays,

it’s after the part permitting human enslavement.

people always need other people to hate,

it’s the evil that the human mind creates

but we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong

pretending that we’re better than everyone

and don’t blame God for your own hatred

that you direct unto his children, that’s you alone

one love, one love —

that’s what you’re telling me except for «them,"never «them,»

they’re not your «family.»

that’s the same old story,

the same old ideology:

and then you blame it on the bible

and the pages written by who knows who

then loosely got translated to 50 languages,

now everyone’s «tradition"is hatred, loosely translated

we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong

pretending that we’re better then everyone

don’t blame god for your own hatred

that you direct unto his children, that’s you alone

we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong

pretending that we’re better then everyone

don’t blame god for your own hatred

that you keep right in your heart there

and you love it, and what would you do without it?

pick up your hatred and find it in the pages

and then translate it to look just like you made it and change the faces to look like your faces

and you can change the names

to fit into your translation of «one.»
