If

Lyrics

If it was right to be believing And write his name in blood And then I met him when I died Well I'd have it out with god But if it means Degrading scenes And sanctioning crusade I'd know we couldn't stand man to man Without feeling afraid If it was wrong for not believing In fairytale facade And then I met him when I died Well I'd apologise to god But if it meant I went down on my knees Well where's the spirit gone Where's the love you're all talking of When you can't stand man to man? Man to man When you can't stand man to man I find it hard to believe In these 'gospels' that I've heard The forked tongue of the bible belt The ayatollah's word I don't believe most anything Spoken by anyone As hell's fanatic paranoids Fire heaven's loaded gun If it was right to be believing Then it must be in this That difference is beautiful And living it is bliss There are no teams There is no side That life on earth is done By living the love you're only talking of By standing man to man Man to man
