We didn't know no better
And they said it could be worse
Some people thought it was a blessing
Other people think that it's a curse
It's a choice between fact and fiction
And the whole world has gone astray
That's why there's no religion
No religion, no religion here today
And there's no straight answers
Of what this thing called love is all about
Some say it's unconditional
Other people just remain in doubt
Well, I cleaned up my diction
I had nothing left to say
Except there's no religion
No religion, no religion here today
And they ask what hate is
It's just the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve
Some say, why don't you love your neighbors
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
But there's nobody on this planet
That can ever be so meek
And I can't bleed for you
You have to do it your own way
And there's no religion
No religion, no religion here today
And they ask what hate is
It's the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve
Others say, why don't you love your neighbors
Go ahead and turn the other cheek
But have you ever met anybody
Who's ever been that meek?
And it's so cruel to expect
The savior to save the day
And there's no religion
No religion, no religion here today
And there's no mystery
And there's nothing hidden
And there's no religion here today
And there's no mystery
And there's nothing hidden
And there's no religion here today
And there's no religion
No religion, no religion here today
