Don't sing to me of saviours and sorrows Don't sing to me of saviours and sin Please, don't say there's a crown waiting just for me Waiting and shining up there in heaven Don't sing to me of turning my cheek Don't sing to me of the virtues of meek I'm sick of someday soon things will be better That creed kept slaves, slaves of my ancestors Faith it has beauty but not when it blinds us Blinds us and folds us to crimes of excess Never to lead and always to follow Follow sad mad men to shame worse than d**h Don't sing to me of joy on the other side
Don't sing to me of waiting to die I want joy in this life, my joy loves company Don't sing to me that war is our destiny This is my gospel I hope you'll share it Stand for each other don't let greed be our measure Put down your gun and put down your bible Hold out your hand, we'll build a new temple Don't sing to me of saviours and sorrows Don't sing to me of saviours and sin Don't sing to me of damnation and bloodspill 'Cause I don't believe it, I never will I don't believe it, I never will
