Lyrics I Will Not Be Led - Nazareth

I Will Not Be Led

You have your rules and regulations
You say his love is my salvation
Then talk of faith and segregation
You say that I must wait
He will communicate
I will not join your congregation
You force me into situations
Preach bad of sin and fornication
Forget your sworded celebration
My heart fills up with rage
Who are you to gauge
The purpose of my world’s creation?
I cannot see the light your seeing
I have my own thoughts to believe in
I will not heed the words your hearing
I will not be accused
My liberty abused
You chose the cross that you are bearing
Y’want me to believe the word’s you read
But I don’t believe in what your good book says
I just believe that when I’m dead, I’m dead
You say I must repent
Bow down and show respect
I am a man and I will not be led
