Story behind the song
Here's an expression of my disgust at the militant "religious" right, most religious institutes, bold hypocrisy, corrupt government, unending war (for profit), and western civiliaztion's sick war culture. Lies, greed, and lust for power run rampant as the most dangerous war of all is carried out - the insidious war against humanity being perpetrated upon us by unseen powers (the eilte). In spite of broaching such ugly topics - this song is also an expression of great hope of peace and life - and freedom - for all.
Lyrics
(Verse 1) How can you say you’re a good Christian then Refuse to practice love Why do you think you are better than them Who don’t believe in god above (Bridge) All you hypocrites can deny And go on living your big lie Does God want us to make more war? Is that what Christians really are? (Verse2) How can you say you’re a holy man then Refuse to protest war When you think you are better than them You don’t know who you really are (Repeat Bridge) (Chorus) Freedom lives in our hearts That’s where love always starts Wisdom shines in our minds Dreams of hope for all mankind Dreams of peace for every girl and boy (Verse 3) Corporations and their politicians Act blameless for their mistakes Chipping away at our constitution While they are on the take (Bridge2) All you hypocrites can deny And go on profiting from your lies The people don’t want fear and war That’s not what "our boys" should die for (Repeat Chorus)
