I Know There Is Love
(专辑: Christ - The Album - 1982)
Do you think I
was born on this wretched earth for you to govern and kill? In your stinking factories and offices with your stupid systems and skills. Do you think I've got nothing better to do than to grovel in the
shit and the
crap, Asking for the
bread and home that's mine and waiting for a
pat on the
back? You think I've got nothing better to do than to live in the
lie that you give? Learn the
sweet morals, the
lessons, the
games and praise god for the
fact that I
live? You took me and made me a
MAN By making me strong, the
power of this land. You took a
woman and taught her she's less, A
slave to the
strong no more than a
guest. You taught me to love, find a
mate and to take A
woman to serve but your love is just rape. You leave me my children to hold and distort, To bind with your rules of normality till caught. I
give them the
food that you sell in the
shops, I'm told is has goodness when it's only the
slops. You've taken my health with your shitty benevolence, You've take my dignity with your dole queue dependence. You taught me to steal when I
wanted to share, To take for myself and not even care. You've stifled my vision with oppressive authority, The
dreams and the
hopes nearly fade to strangle me. You gave me confusion until I
had learnt To obey all the
orders and never get burnt. I
shout in the
streets and you take my voice, This sham of democracy leaves no choice. You've taken my eyes till there's nothing to see Except abuse and destruction, no chance to be free. You've taken my thinking, my means of survival, Thrust in my hand your gun and your bible. You told me to kill for the
lord up above, You've given me hate when I
KNOW THERE IS LOVE. You told me to kill for the
lord up above, You've given me hate when I
KNOW THERE IS LOVE.
