Title says it all...

lyrics

Verse 1
They sure do love Jesus in Texas
On every corner there’s a church and a cross
There’s Revised Corinthian, King James and Gideons,
Bibles for sale at truck stops
They say he’s the savior, born in a manger
Bringing peace and love to all who believe
But there’s wars and people dyin’ and politicians lying
Seems like the world’s still f**ked up.

Chorus
Everybody got they own version of God
Is there hell to pay if you’re the one at odds?
If just one of them is right, everyone else must be wrong
How do you know which side to stand on?

Verse 2
They sure love Mohammed in Iran
They pray ‘bout 5 times a day
There’s bowing and chantin’, prayin’ and rantin’,
In mosques, hotels and cafes
They say he’s a prophet, quite philosophic,
Bringing peace and love to all who believe
But some put on a vest, dynamite strapped to their chest
Seems like the world’s still f**ked up.

Chorus
Everybody got they own version of God
Is there hell to pay if you’re the one at odds?
If just one of them is right, everyone else must be wrong
How do you know which side to stand on?

Verse 3
There’s a Western Wall over there in Israel,
The chosen people stand there each day
There’s wailin’ and sighin’, prayin’ and cryin’
That the messiah will show up someday.
They got Ten Commandments, that demand attention.
Bringing peace and love to all who believe
But if you don’t, you might just be smote
Seems like the world’s still f**ked up

Chorus
Everybody got they own version of God
Is there hell to pay if you’re the one at odds?
If just one of them is right, everyone else must be wrong
How do you know which side to stand on?
Well the answer to the question is faith.
Faith in God in whatever shape it takes.
It doesn’t matter what path you take (G)
As long as you don’t… forsake
Cause he really don’t care which side you stand on.
