Alleged Legends |
| Some people live their lives by a little red book |
| The points for right lying out and guides them good |
| They never really mimic every word by eye |
| Cause if they did they’d be in a whole world of strife |
| The book’s quite old school, back then it was tough |
| It contains some quite experimental justice |
| The thinking people are thinking that without this book |
| That without these verses we’d pillage and murder but |
| Following this red book word for word |
| Leads you to actually pillage and murder |
| Could it be so what we think to be right |
| Is simply the opinion that survived? |
| Do what you think’s right, and you will feel alright |
| Cause when you’re bad you will feel sad |
| That’s the religion I live by |
| There’s a bloke in the book who made everything |
| He knows every individual and every trick in them |
| Way above emotion, never getting stressed |
| But when men choose against him, gets jealous |
| People fight for him in crippling wars |
| But since he has the power of infinite awe |
| We’re merely itching on futilities floor |
| Should we really be needing to assist him at all? |
| If he loves us all, knowing all we think |
| Should he only like people with faith in him? |
| Given I can’t control what I truly believe |
| Can I be forgiven for only believing who I see? |
| Could it be time to avoid this bush? |
| So we wouldn’t be blind when joining up coulds? |
| Could we see both sides of the coin for the good? |
| Breed less strife on our voyage for good? |
| Getting threatened by men with questions |
| We’ll never get anywhere rejecting evidence |
| Could we test everything instead of betting |
| On alleged legends? |
| If we teach that it’s right to blindly believe |
| If we reach to the sky to define our meaning |
| Well I agree what’s right will keep driving people to fight with people |
