You take an ounce of inspiration You glimpse a pinhole of truth You sully it beyond all recognition That's not God, that's you You know what they say about lies And how they make baby Jesus cry Think about that next time You blame the evils of the world on those you choose to despise You project a silhouette on a great big wall Is that the only point of view? We're in your shadow waiting for it all to fall
That's not God, that's you It's not ours to decide If God is cruel or kind BUT YOU BETTER MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BELIEVE OR TO TAKE SIDES Human Lacerate and anoint our sores Human Invoke the martyrs as you make some more Human With your scriptures and your holy wars Human Human is all we are Only the mistakes are ours
