Brothers and sisters, have you heard the news? |
|
The storm has lifted and there's nothing to lose, |
|
So swap your confirmation for your dancing shoes, |
|
Because there never was no |
|
God. Step out of the darkness and onto the streets, |
|
Forget about the fast, let's have a carnival feast, |
|
Raise up your lowered head to hear the liberation beat, |
|
Because there never was no |
|
God. There is no |
|
God, So clap your hands together, |
|
There is no |
|
God, No heaven and no hell. |
|
There is no |
|
God, We're all in this together, |
|
There is no |
|
God, So ring that victory bell. |
|
No cowering in the dark before these overbearing priests, |
|
Not waiting until we die until we restitute the meek, |
|
No blaming all our failings on imaginary beasts, |
|
Because there never was no |
|
God. No fighting over land your distant fathers told you of, |
|
Not spilling blood for those who have never spread a drop of blood, |
|
No finger pointing justified by fairies up above, |
|
Because there never was no |
|
God. There is no |
|
God, So clap your hands together, |
|
There is no |
|
God, No heaven and no hell. |
|
There is no |
|
God, We're all in this together, |
|
There is no |
|
God, So ring that victory bell. |
|
And I know you're scared of dieing man and |
|
I am too, |
|
But just pretending it's not happening isn't gonna see us through, |
|
So just accept that there's an end game and we haven't got much time, |
|
And then in the here and now we can try and do things right. |
|
Forget about the crazy things that people have believed, |
|
And think of wondrous things that normal people have achieved, ' |
|
Cos I've known beauty in the stillness of cathedrals in the day, |
|
I sang Glory |
|
Hallelujah! |
|
Won't you wash my sins away? |
|
But now I'm singing my refrain and this is what |
|
I say, I say there never was no |
|
God. There is no |
|
God, So clap your hands together, |
|
There is no |
|
God, No heaven and no hell. |
|
There is no |
|
God, We're all in this together, |
|
There is no |
|
God, So ring that victory bell. |
|
There is no |
|
God, So clap your hands together, |
|
There is no |
|
God, No heaven and no hell. |
|
There is no |
|
God, We're all in this together, |
|
There is no |
|
God, So ring that victory bell. |
