Good people do good, the evil do bad
for good to do evil takes religion, that's sad
The wars between nations and confrontations
the pain and suffering and deprivation
It nearly all stems from religious beliefs
they're taking our freedom and money like thiefs
Science has proven our evolution
religion has brainwashed the masses like pollution
I understand needing something to believe in
so believe in yourself, not other peoples preaching
From God to Allah and Jesus to Mary
maybe they lie ‘cause the truth is too scary
If heaven exists it doesn't prevail
hell has us locked in this life like a jail
We're seeking the truth but it's hidden from view
like the fruit that we want is forbidden to chew
Dictators dictate and the government too
they set out in stone what we can and can't do
So open your eyes and spread your wings
and open your heart and see what it brings
There’s more to this life than the things you've been told
discover yourself and break free from the mould
