In the Name of God

I know a story it won't take long about men who kill in the name of God

Who blow up churches and cut off heads over a book that they never read

They never read

They never read

They never read

Impossible to count the dead

From India to Ireland, starvation spread throughout the land

Genocide and slavery over a book you did not read

You did not read

You did not read

You did not read

Over a book you didn't read

You call it God, but I believe the word you ought to use is greed

Kill for power and die for land and a book that you don't understand

You don't understand

You don't understand

Don't understand

A book that you don't understand

The Bible Torah and Quran each say what you do is wrong

But soon your empire will fall because you don't believe in God at all

In God at all

In God at all

In God at all

And soon your empire will fall

I know a story that won't take long about men who kill in the name of God

Who blow up churches and cut off heads over a book that they never read

They never read

They never read

They never read

Impossible to count the dead
