Believe You Me Lyrics

Some pilgrims keep it private

The brainwashed proselytize

Others tell us they know God's mind

How they love to testify

The only world we have is to them a test

For what they hope comes after life

That's what you get when you read one book

And you throw its words around like a knife

And I see them kneeling

I hear them praying

So scared of death they live a lie

Warm feelings not cold facts guide their reality

It's enough to make their god cry

Believe you me

Believe you me

The fearful preach forgiveness

In hallowed halls in our towns

The throwbacks promise hellfire

If we don't kneel down

Be a cold day in hell before I bend the knee

To pushers of mystery

Suffer little children to come to me

Is the most abused line in history

And I see them kneeling

I hear them praying

Sending thoughts to an empty sky

While their preachers live off poor people's money

It's enough to make their god cry

Believe you me

Believe you me

Believe you me

What can I say to make you see?

Some stand real tall on our corners

Cursing those who walk on by

Others spill blood on sand dunes

Taking an eye for an eye

Heaven help us if they take back control

For death cults live to sacrifice

So stop the kneeling

And quit the praying

Take control of your mind

For we are stardust our time is short in the light

The question is how there is no why

Nothing above us but the sky

Believe you me

Believe you me

Believe you me
