"God Save Us All From Religion" Lyrics

He was building a beer can castle at the end of the bar
He said, Bud we better get wiser cause we've gone too far.
We've got the Jews and the Muslims, the Isms and the Wasums
And ten thousand flavors of Christians
God save us all from religion

Well I sat there stunned just starin' in my beer
That bar room philosopher said, son, ain't the truth mighty clear?
There's a preacher on TV, he's Pharisee greedy
And he thinks he's a hot politician
Oh God save us all from religion

Ain't it a shame how the world's gone insane
How we hurt and we hate and we kill in God's name
And heaven above knows the answer is love
But it's sure hard to find it down here

They're wolves in sheep's clothing, hypocrites, liars and fools
They say you can't go to heaven if you don't abide by their rules
Remember religion crucified Jesus when love was his only mission
God save us all from religion.

Ain't it a shame how the world's gone insane
How we hurt and we hate and we kill in God's name
And heaven above knows the answer is love
But it's sure hard to find it down here

He kept adding cans to his castle 'til it finally fell
He said, son, left up to religion I'd go right to hell
But with mercy and faith and God's saving grace
I know that I am forgiven
God save us all from religion
My God save us all from religion
