T Bone Burnett - Blinded by the Darkness lyrics

The laws of God and the laws of man The laws of man They don't carry the same weight as the laws of God Or the laws of nature In the nomenclature Do we want to inject the concept of sin Into the Constitution? Is this really necessary? Does this not make you somewhat wary? Shouldn't sin be left to the laws of God And to the laws of nature? Can we trust this to the legislature? And shall we trust sin to the wisdom Of the criminal justice system Which can't handle the criminals we have now Why create a whole new cla** of them? Isn't crime dealt with by the laws of man? Isn't sin dealt with by the laws of God? Isn't crime dealt with by the laws of man? Isn't sin dealt with by the laws of God? If sin were dealt with by the laws of man Everybody would be in jail for life In solitary confinement With no one to go his bail Or else would have gotten d**h Maybe I should save my breath But this lunacy is bound to fail But there would be no one to get the food Or run the machines Mercy on us, dude You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness In seven days God created evolution When shall I expect retribution From the counter revolution? You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness You shine your darkness on me I am blinded by the darkness
