Amos 5
(from The Message)
"The truth will set us free"
We dont want religion... No, no...
A substitute for the real thing...
Ruthless in fake and control
Charismatic or traditional, still the same deadly leaven...
Standing in the way...
Hindering those that in honesty wants to get to Heaven...
Reach heaven... Yeah...
It comes dressed like an angel
Knows how to do the "jesustalk"
Tricking those who's out for a serious walk
Putting us to sleep in a churchy lulla lulla lullaby
Religious politics sending millions to die...
Wake up or we go down to the songs of that lukewarm sound!
I want justice, I want justice
I want fairness thats what I want
Thats all I want...
Oceans of it...
Don't believe the lies
God says: I can't stand your religious meetings,
I'm fed up with your conferences and boring sermons
I'm tired of your image making, pretentious slogans and goals
I've had all I can take of your noisy ego-music...
Sing TO me for a change...
I want justice, justice
I, I want
I want fairness
Oceans of it
Thats what I want
Thats ALL I want...
And we've lost it, yes we did...
And we don't even see it
For the sake of pleasing man
Is it worth it in the end?
It's your life
We are talking about our own existence now
