Lyrics Life Support - SOJA

Life Support

Six days of work and on the seventh He rests
Of course, God is a man, only a man would do this
Of course, He created women for man himself
For, kids, and a rib, and for nothing else
Of course, Mary is a virgin, that’s what we say
We love when it never really was that way
Of course, Sodom and Gomorrah is going to hell
We can’t even start to understand ourselves
Of course, we’re going to war over love itself
Of course, God is a bullet flying low overhead
Of course, our enemies just don’t know God
Of course, that’s the reason that we’re going to war
But people remember Jesus and Mother Teresa
And Bob Marley lives instead of the preacher
You look in your heart, you can see the secret that
We needed love to live
So we’re on life support
It’s just life support
It’s only life support
Just life support
Yeah
The president is on a mission of war
Forgetting any of the reasons that we needed him for
And the priests and the sheikhs and the czars and the rabbis
Smile bright while we close the door
But Jesus wasn’t a Christian, Mohammed wasn’t a muslim, and
All we take is whatever it is we want from the news
As they interview showing Islam
And we say killing in the name of God is so fucking wrong
But then we kill for the oil and bury the teachers
Love what we’re taught to love by the preachers
And we seen it so much we fucking bought the t-shirt
And we know we’re right, so we don’t do no research."
Stop it, we should just goddamn drop it:
Two thousand years of the same old hypocrisy, is all I see
When all I need is love and peace
So I’m on life support
It’s just life support
It’s life support
It’s life support
Yeah, yeah
Uh
We teach competition and to beat them all
We teach accumulation, but what’s in your heart
Is love and compassion for all your kin
Every single movie ends you see the good guys win
Every indescribable song that you feel in your heart
Stronger than accumulation is compassion and love
Hard wired down to the core we are
Hard wired down to the cornea
We teach accumulation like it’s what we want
When children grow up, I see them acting just like us
But our vision is a glitch and it’s a fault to us
We never listen to our hearts, it’s just the thoughts we trust
But if you listen to your soul, you start to see it around
The weakest part of us, that’s the strongest part right now
And it’s a testament to both Testaments
Never say you’re fixing it, just to make it lesser than
Like life support
