(Music by Tom Levin, Rikard Carlsson & Dimitri Keiski; Lyrics by Tom Levin)
Sanctioned by religion, God has been hijacked
And in the name of goodness wrong-believers are attacked
How can words of love trigger this behavior
Compulsive praying will never change a thing
We need to make a difference that only action can bring
You just waist your time, waiting for a savior
Just do unto others what you want them to do to you
Open up your heart and you’ll get a better view
You don’t need your God above
To live in the name of love
Fundamentally
It’s up to you and me
And not religion
God, Allah or Shiva, they’re the one and the same
No one has been chosen and there’s no devil you can blame
So try to understand your neighbor
Total explanations choke your common sense
It is time to wake up if you take offense
You don’t need your God above
To live in the name of love
Fundamentally, it’s up to you and me
And not religion
You don’t need your God to be
Generous and kind
In your heart you’ll find
All that you need for salvation
You don’t need your God above
To live in the name of love
Fundamentally
It’s up to you and me
And not religion
You don’t need your God to be
Generous and kind
In your heart you’ll find
True compassion
