story behind the song: Easter is on its way, hippity hopping so to speak. Being somewhat atheistic agnostic, pondering the original storyline and how it has been used and abused over the years.
Lyrics
pick up those toys
put down those guns
you know those preachers
they ain't foolin' anyone
they call us boys
say go play and have some fun
they say they can teach us
cause we don't know how its done
they've taken prayer
and turned it into chants
so they can up the volume
and turn it into rants
they don't want no saviour
they don't want no second chance
just the power over me and you
so their desires will come to pass
they think they're real men
piling that money high
counting out the little thrills
for you and me to buy
why don't we just let them
make and say their last goodbyes
enacting as their god wills
their belief in do or die
and deliver us from evil
show us now all that love
deliver us from evil
in the name of god above
there's all those weapons
they use to protect their stash
pretending they're for freedom
if anyone should ask
there's all those reasons
that they used to tame the world
don't you realize, oh you'll find out
they're the reasons they use to kill
and deliver us from evil
show us now all that love
deliver us from evil
in the name of god above
and deliver us from evil
show us now all that love
deliver us from evil
in the name of god above
and deliver us from evil
show us now all that love
deliver us from evil
in the name of god above
in the name of god above
deliver us from evil
deliver us
