lyrics

So tell me, what's my main offense this time,
While you're selling forgiveness at a fair price?
But you can't forgive me for not buying in,
So sell it all to the Sunday high rule.
You're only there because of the fear inside you.
I'll manifest my own beliefs.

Look what you've done.
You've got the world in your hands,
Based on unreasoned beliefs.
Faith has become a profiteering scheme to exploit the common fears of men.

Feel more dead then alive these days,
But I can only be saved through faith.
It's such a beautiful lie they made,
That's got the whole world suffering.

So look at them go.
You know it's not too far off from all that's wrong in this world,
But salary can't hear a thing.
So father above,
If you're really listening...
But you can't hear a thing.

Look what you've done.
You've got the world in your hands,
Based on unreasoned beliefs.
Faith has become a profiteering scheme to exploit the common fears of men.
