There’s too many churches and not enough love.
There’s too many versions of their god above.
There’s too many scriptures and not enough truth.
There’s too many pulpits and not enough proof.
There’s too many prophets and not enough tax.
There’s too many angels and not enough facts.
There’s too many holy men rolling in cash.
There’s too many preachers, counting their stash.
They’re preaching, they’re praying
We’re bowing, we’re paying,
They’re ruling, they’re lying,
We’re starving, we’re dying,
They’re taking, they’re blessing,
We’re guilty, confessing,
They’ll never stop the lies
And we need more love.
There’s too many temples and not enough bread.
There’s too many time bombs ticking in my head.
There’s too many things that they made us afraid of.
There’s too many churches and not enough love.
They’re preaching, they’re praying
We’re bowing, we’re paying,
They’re ruling, they’re lying,
We’re starving, we’re dying,
They’re taking, they’re blessing,
We’re guilty, confessing,
They’ll never stop the lies.
And we need more love.
There’s too many things that they made us afraid of.
There’s too many churches and not enough love.
Amen.
