God Save Us All From Religion

(album: Deuces - 2007)

He was building a beer can castle at the end of the bar
He said bud, we better get wiser,
But we've gone too far!
We got the Jews and the Muslims
The isms and the wasums
And ten thousand flavors of Christians
Got save us all from religion!

Well, I sat there stunned, just staring in my beer
That bar room philosopher said,
Son, ain't the truth mighty clear!
There's a preacher on TV, he's Pharisee greedy
And he thinks he's a hot politician!
God save us all from religion!

Ain't it a shame how the world's gone insane,
How we hurt and we hate, and we kill in God's name?
And Heaven above knows the answer is love
But it's sure hard to find it down here!

They're wolves in sheep's clothing,
Hypocrites, liars, and fools!
They say you can't go to Heaven
If you don't abide by their rules!
Remember religion crucified Jesus
When love was His only mission!
God save us all from religion!

Ain't it a shame how the world's gone insane,
How we hurt and we hate, and we kill in God's name?
And Heaven above knows the answer is love
But it's sure hard to find it down here!

He kept adding cans to his castle 'till finally fell
He said, son, left up to religion, I'd go right to hell!
But with mercy and faith, and God's saving grace
I know that I am forgiven
God save us all from religion!
My God, save us all from religion!
