God, give me a sign right now before my time runs out
Because my faith and hope are ever-fadin′
Round up the children, take them to the bank
Teach them how to pray, I was one of them too
Round up the children, time to set 'em straight
Teach them how to hate in the name of you
Religion′s belligerent, it's making us sicker as
I start to resent the very God I love
'Cause religion′s epitome is making a mess of me
Is the person I am just not enough?
I don′t wanna be someone who loses all their faith
And that their family hates because they're changin′
God, give me a sign right now before my time runs out
Because my faith and hope are ever-fadin'
Run to the steeple, tell us what to say
Rules so we behave but don′t question it
Run to the steeple to wash away our sins
But do it all again, where's your righteousness?
Religion′s belligerent, it's making us sicker as
I start to resent the very God I love
'Cause religion′s epitome is making a mess of me
Is the person I am just not enough?
I don′t wanna be someone who loses all their faith
And that their family hates because they're changin′
God, give me a sign right now before my time runs out
Because my faith and hope are ever-fadin'
Lay down the law, watch the people hurt
As the village burns, still you lay down the law
Do it all in vain, in Jesus′ name
You lay down the law
I don't wanna be someone who loses all their faith
And that their family hates because they′re changin'
God, give me a sign right now before my time runs out
Because my faith and hope are ever-fadin'
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh
I′m never changin′
