lyrics

THE NATIONALISM GOSPEL


WHEN WILL THE CHURCH BE THE FRIEND
THE EARTH NEEDS AGAIN?
WHEN?

WHEN WILL THE WEAK HAVE JUSTICE
AND THE BOMBS STOP FALLING?
WHEN?

GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS GOD
NOT A BUSINESS OR PRESIDENT.

WHEN WILL AMERICAN CHRISTIANS
STOP WORSHIPPING REVENGE?
WHEN?

BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS GOD
NOT AN ENGINE FOR YOUR GUNS.

THIS CLUB OF RELIGION
KEEPS USING THE TRUTH AS A WEAPON
THESE OLD POLITICIANS
WITH NO GRACE LEFT IN THEIR HEARTS
THEY PREACH ABOUT JESUS
BUT CHERRY-PICK ALL OF HIS TEACHINGS
TO KEEP THE MACHINE UP AND RUNNING
WHILE THE LEAST STARVE.

THEN THEY SAY, GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS GOD
(BUT THEY’RE LIARS)
‘CAUSE GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS GOD
AND THAT MEANS GOOD NEWS
FOR ALL OF US.
