Lyrics

[00:22.24] I hate all your show and pretense
[00:26.79] The hypocrisy of your praise
[00:31.64] The hypocrisy of your festivals
[00:35.65] I hate all your show
[00:38.90] Away with your noisy worship
[00:43.62] Away with your noisy hymns
[00:48.24] I stomp on my ears when you're singing 'em
[00:52.36] I hate all your show
[00:54.54]
[00:54.79] Instead let there be a flood of justice
[01:01.10] An endless procession of righteous living, living
[01:07.69] Instead let there be a flood of justice
[01:13.05] Instead of a show
[01:16.07]
[01:29.04] Your eyes are closed when you're praying
[01:33.69] You sing right along with the band
[01:38.43] You shine up your shoes for services
[01:42.35] There's blood on your hands
[01:45.69] You turned your back on the homeless
[01:50.36] And the ones that don't fit in your plan
[01:54.65] Quit playing religion games
[01:59.19] There's blood on your hands
[02:01.38]
[02:01.91] Instead let there be a flood of justice
[02:08.05] An endless procession of righteous living, living
[02:14.57] Instead let there be a flood of justice
[02:19.99] Instead of a show
[02:23.11] I hate all your show
[02:25.51]
[02:25.80] Let's argue this out
[02:30.12] If your sins are blood red
[02:32.27] Let's argue this out
[02:36.47] You'll be one of the clouds
[02:39.56] Let's argue this out
[02:42.62] Quit fooling around
[02:45.89] Give love to the ones who can't love at all
[02:52.27] Give hope to the ones who got no hope at all
[02:58.48] Stand up for the ones who can't stand at all, all
[03:15.77] I hate all your show
[03:18.95] I hate all your show
[03:22.13] I hate all your show
[03:25.20] I hate all your show
[03:28.83]
[03:29.37] Instead let there be a flood of justice
[03:35.74] An endless procession of righteous living, living
[03:42.28] Instead let there be a flood of justice
[03:47.61] Instead of a show
[03:50.82] I hate all your show
[03:57.82]
