Come down baby from the mountaintop It's time for you to let this go There's things out there you just can't stop There's things out there you just don't know There's nowhere left for you to run And all these books and all these words Incompatible, absurd You're watching on your TV set 'Til the world's a burning wreck 'Til you can hate someone you've never met Well all I see is hate and greed People fighting in the streets And all these tears are washing me away And Intolerance and genocide And your book says that mine's a lie If God's on your side, then who's on mine? I woke up sleeping in a dream All the boys had come back home Your family's dancing in the streets Your cousin's on the telephone There's no need left for you to roam Jesus, Buddha, Zeus and Jah Apollo, Vishnu, and Allah Bullets rain while children play Do you watch or look away? Tell me who decides, who will choose Who will win, who will lose? Well all I see is hate and greed People fighting in the streets And all these tears are wearing us away And Intolerance and genocide And your book says that mine's a lie If God's on your side, then who's on mine? You knelt there in a pew And you said a prayer or two Lit a candle for luck Put your money in the cup You quote chapter and verse And how your God got here first In a stem cell petrie dish There's a Darwin bumper fish Come down baby from the mountaintop Take a breath and let it go There's things out there you just can't stop There's things out there you'll never know There's no need left for you to run All I see is hate and greed People fighting in the streets And all these tears are wasting us away And when we wake up in this war But no one knows what it was for Was God on my side, or was he on yours? If God's on your side, then who's on mine?
