Enlightenment

I wish there was a god so she could save us
Release us from the bonds that separate us
Because ignorance and faith leave such a deadly wake
In the divide and conquering of saving souls
I wish there was a god so she could save us
A supernatural nanny figure, so I could remain blameless
Because, it's no fault of mine, I'm inspired by the divine
All my fears are justified. fuck the heathens; god's on our side

But no one's there, we need more work than prayer
There's no one there, no one's intervening in our affairs
It's up to you and me if we're gonna get there

I wish there was a god so she could save us
From conquistadors and fucking terrorists
Clinic bombing fundamentalists
The cross and moon, they're all the same
Taking rights and lives in a holy name
Whatever good is over-shadowed, don't you think

We don't need a book to tell us what is wrong and right
We don't need a dogma telling us whom to fight
We don't need the soma just to sleep through the night
We don't need religion to survive
We don't need it
We don't need it

But no one's there we need more work than prayer
There's no one there, no one's intervening in our affairs
It's up to you and me, it's up to you and me if we get there
