Lyrics

don’t speak to me of God
if you just mean white on black
speak to me of justice
and when you have done justice
you can speak to me of God

and don’t shout to me of freedom
if all you mean is profit
whisper your compassion
and when you’ve shown compassion
you can speak to me of freedom

tell me then of science
of knowledge, of wisdom
some light’s bound to find the cracks
if you’ve pre-paid for your opinions
and pre-ordered your ignorance
you should demand your money back

don’t sing to me of love
and then assault my body
show some understanding
and when you’ve shown your understanding
you can sing to me of love

you can’t sell peace and quiet
if all you mean is status quo
and there’s a necessary change in the wind
if you won’t speak for justice
you have to know that justice
will speak for herself again

don’t preach to me of faith
yours, or any others
speak to me of justice
and when you have done justice
you can speak to me with love
