Emptyself - The Postulate lyrics

if i wrote a book... started a group, and every time you heard my name someone tried to control you, and all the wealthy praised me as they drew more blood for affluence, and every time a bomb went off, my name was used in its defense... would i be despised? would i be ignored? or would i be the most accepted thing in the world? and i pray every day, for the praying to end, and i'm sorry to say that we've been deceived, my friends, again and again. if both sides of every war used me to rally support, and every name brand racism believed my words were at its core, and every cruelty in the world was made possible by the view that put its victims outside my grace and held its sources as my truth... would i be despised? would i be ignored? or would i be the most accepted thing in the world? and i pray every day, for the praying to end, and i'm sorry to say that we've been deceived, my friends, again and again.
