Instead Of A Show

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I hate all your show and pretenseThe hypocrisy of your praiseThe hypocrisy of your festivalsI hate all your showAway with your noisy worshipAway with your noisy hymnsI stop up my ears when your singing 'emI hate all your showInstead let there beA flood of justiceAn endless procession of righteousLiving, livingInstead let there beA flood of justiceInstead of a showYour eyes are closed when you're prayingAnd you sing right along with the bandYou shine up your shoes for servicesBut there's blood on your handsYou've turned your back on the homelessAnd the ones who don't fit in your plansQuit playing religion gamesThere's blood on your handsAh! let's argue this outIf your sins are blood redLet's argue this outYou'll be white as the cloudsLet's argue this outQuit fooling aroundGive love to the onesWho can't love at allGive hope to the onesWho got no hope at allStand up for the ones whoCan't stand up at allI hate all your showInstead let there beA flood of justiceAn endless procession of righteousLiving, livingInstead let there beA flood of justiceInstead of a show
