There Ain’t Nothing Like Religion

Even when that sun is shining
We seem to stand out in the rain
Even when we think we understand the story
It just muddles up our brain
Even when we’re surely guilty
We can’t quite be held to blame
Cause there ain’t nothin like religion
making all mankind insane.

Now, Moses said be mellow
Jesus and Mohamed too
We all seemed to pay attention
And we wrote down what to do
But, of all our many prophets
It’s sure plain that none got through
Cause there ain’t nothin like religion
To keep right on foolin you.

There’s too many folks believing
That they’ve found the only way
They build elaborate corners
From which they often pray
For conversion or misfortune
For all those with different ways
Cause there ain’t nothin like religion
To lead us all so far astray.

Sometimes I truly wonder
When I hear so many people cry
If we’ll ever really understand the story
Or if it’s even worth the try
While our prophets true intentions
We just continue to deny
Cause there ain’t nothin like religion
To make so many people die.
