| I’m not saying that I’ve got it all figured out,
|
| I’m just saying that most people
|
| seem to be without a doubt
|
| so scared to death of what they just don’t understand —
|
| you know they been doing that one since the dawning of man —
|
| if you need the union of marriage that the bible portrays,
|
| it’s after the part permitting human enslavement.
|
| people always need other people to hate,
|
| it’s the evil that the human mind creates
|
| but we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong
|
| pretending that we’re better than everyone
|
| and don’t blame God for your own hatred
|
| that you direct unto his children, that’s you alone
|
| one love, one love —
|
| that’s what you’re telling me except for «them,"never «them,»
|
| they’re not your «family.»
|
| that’s the same old story,
|
| the same old ideology:
|
| and then you blame it on the bible
|
| and the pages written by who knows who
|
| then loosely got translated to 50 languages,
|
| now everyone’s «tradition"is hatred, loosely translated
|
| we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong
|
| pretending that we’re better then everyone
|
| don’t blame god for your own hatred
|
| that you direct unto his children, that’s you alone
|
| we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong
|
| pretending that we’re better then everyone
|
| don’t blame god for your own hatred
|
| that you keep right in your heart there
|
| and you love it, and what would you do without it?
|
| pick up your hatred and find it in the pages
|
| and then translate it to look just like you made it and change the faces to look like your faces
|
| and you can change the names
|
| to fit into your translation of «one.» |
