SOJA - Life Support Lyrics

Six days of work and on the seventh he rests
Of course, God is a man, only a man would do this
Of course, he created women for man himself
For kids, and a rib, and for nothing else

Of course, "Mary is a virgin", that's what we say
We love when it never really was that way
Of course, Sodom and Gomorrah is going to hell
We can't even start to understand ourselves

Of course, we're going to war over love itself
Of course, God is a bullet flying low overhead
Of course, our enemies just don't know God
Of course, that's the reason that we're going to war

But people remember Jesus and mother Theresa
And Bob Marley lives instead of the preacher
You look in you heart, you can see the secret that
We needed love to live, so we're on life support

It's just life support

It's only life support

It's life support

Yeah, the president is on a mission of war
Forgetting any of the reasons that we needed him for
And the priests and the shieks and the czars and the rabbis
Smile bright while we close the door

But Jesus wasn't a chrisitan, Mohammed wasn't a muslim
And all we take is whatever it is, we want from the news
As they interview, showing islam, and we say
"Killing in the name of God is so fucking wrong"

But then we kill for the oil and bury the teachers
Love what we're taught to love by the preachers
We seen it so much we fucking bought the t-shirt
And we know we're right, so we don't do no research

Stop it! We should just goddamn drop it
Two thousand years of the same old hypocrisy, is all I see
When all I need is love and peace
So I'm on life support

It's just life support

It's life support

It's life support

Yeah, yeah, uh

We teach competition and to beat the all
We teach accumulation, but what's in you heart
Is love and compassion for all your kin
Every single movie ends, you see the good guys win

Every indescribable song that you feel in your heart
Stronger than accumulation is compassion and love
Hard wired down to the core we are
Hard wired down to the cornea

We teach accumulation like it's what we want
When children grow up, I see them acting just like us
But our vision is a glitch and it's a fault to us
We never listen to our hearts, it's just the thoughts we trust

And if you listen to your soul, you start to see it around
The weakest part of us, that's the strongest part right now
And it's a testament, to both testaments
Never say you're fixing it, just to make it lesser than

Like life support
