YOUR GODS WON'T SAVE YOU NOW

If your gods are present and Jesus saves
Why are children digging their own graves
Taking bullets for some madman's cause?
When there's slaughter seven days a week
The earth inherits the poor and meek
Swallowed whole through it's six foot jaws
Where the land doesn't flow with gold and black
The empire hesitates at striking back
Like Pilate it turns to wash it's hands
But if a worthy despot suddenly approaches
His small town ethos somehow encroaches
On the lifestyles of our free lands

If your gods could save you now
Do you think that they would allow
Genocidal games practiced in their names?
Your gods won't save you now
If your gods could save you now
Do you think that they would allow
Genocidal games practiced in their names?
Your gods won't save you, won't save you now!

If the propaganda is to be believed
Then we should be proud of what we've achieved
Now the need for survival has been removed
But no-one wants the truth to be known
Of our foundations laid on others bones
So all history has been disproved?

If your gods could save you now
Do you think that they would allow
Genocidal games practiced in their names?
Your gods won't save you now
If your gods could save you now
Do you think that they would allow
Genocidal games practiced in their names?
Your gods won't save you, won't save you now!

The two thousand years you celebrate
Were built on genocide and hate
So drink to the atrocities of war
Were your gods down there among us
When they shot, gassed and hung us
In Bosnia, Treblinka, Warsaw?

If your gods could save you now
Do you think that they would allow
Genocidal games practiced in their names?
Your gods won't save you now
If your gods could save you now
Do you think that they would allow
Genocidal games practiced in their names?
Your gods won't save you, won't save you now!
Won't save you now... your gods won't save you now
