If God Was One Of US

from Pieces Of Chaos by Carlyle Laurent

/

about

A response to Islamophobia and Xenophobia spreading in the western world.

lyrics

Flying headfirst out of a cannon's mouth
Is probably something we could learn to do without
sell your point any point with fear
and wonder how we ended up here
Wave this at them this is their fault, what they wanted
was too much, they got shame and they want to flaunt it
cause pain that's what god would want
I know for a fact that's what god would want

*what if god was one of us*

If God was one of us he'd be insane
If God was one of us we'd lock him up and call him names
If God was one of us we'd put him on a fucking leash
If God was one of us we'd treat him like a new disease
If God was one of us we'd call him freak
We'd sew his lips shut for ever trying to speak
If God was one of us we'd make him scream
For claiming to be something holier than me
If God was one of us he'd be insane

Lead me to the camps, where they come and they stay
stuck in our homeland we won't have it this way
chase them out, string them up by their feet
i pledge it on this book that preaches love and peace
Let them know, let them know, they do not belong
immigrants founded this land just for us
Men in Judea wrote the western custom
lock and load for god if you've got a problem

If God was one of us he'd be insane
If God was one of us we'd lock him up and call him names
If God was one of us we'd put him on a fucking leash
If God was one of us we'd treat him like a new disease
If God was one of us we'd call him freak
We'd sew his lips shut for ever trying to speak
If God was one of us we'd make him scream
For claiming to be something holier than me
If God was one of us he'd be insane
If god was one of us he'd die alone
noone would believe he ever sat on a throne
if god was one of us he would weep
If god was one of us he'd never be able to sleep
If god was one of us he'd be a loon
If god was one of us we'd put him in a padded room
If god was one of us we'd burn him like an effigy
for ever claiming to be something pure or holy
If god was one of us he'd be insane
