We do what we wanna do, say what we wanna say Live how how we wanna live, play how we wanna play Don’t wanna do harm to nobody, probably you’re the same in that you wanna be, Open to give and hoping to live to the courage of your convictions With all the intelligence nature gave you this is my religion.
School assembly Christian but it never did rub me well That there would be those, that wanna suppose, committing a sin, we’ll be going to hell It’s scary, but they never did snare me praying to Mary or anyone else When half of the game is having a brain to work it out for ourselves I tell thee
Every saviour that they gave you that they said was true Only ends up trying tell you what to do From the second we were born we knew It all comes back around to you
Every time you make a smile on someone else’s face Every times you give the world’s a better place Pay it forward it’ll follow through It all comes back around to you
Somewhere far aware from here Things may all be clear But for now we’re floating in the stratosphere
So in the lieu for proof Of some celestial truth And let’s concentrate on what we’ve got beneath this roof
I don’t wanna make it seem like I know everything Maybe the point is I’m not sure of anything But then maybe the richness of life is the cloth Of the tapestry never unravelling Going out on a limb just Taking it in that we live and we breathe in this galaxy, The pope is to blame for children with AIDs whatever they’re given to charity.
If there’s something of worth for you in a church then I’ll say no more But from Allah, to God to Jehovah there’s prejudice, Hatred and judgement and war, so fuck that I reckon it’s true that you’re lucky as long as you got your health. And you’re blessed my son if you treat everyone like you’d want to be treated yourself” And that’s that
Every saviour that they gave you that they said was true Only ends up trying tell you what to do From the second we were born we knew It all comes back around to you
Every time you make a smile on someone else’s face Every times you give the world’s a better place Pay it forward it’ll follow through It all comes back around to you.
