"Do You Believe In Religion?"
(Gunnar Nelson / Matthew Nelson)

Desert messiah ain't nothing new - we all know his kind
Another self-appointed prophet with world domination
On his puny mind

Whispered scenes behind closed doors
How does one make the people think
His greed's worth dying for?
Hey, let's start a holy war!!!

[Chorus:]
Do you believe in religion?
I believe it's your decision
Do you think it makes a difference?
Is it just some man-made vision?
Do you believe in religion?
I believe it's your decision
Do you think it makes a difference?
Do you really care any way?

Midnight preacher calls me a sinner
And maybe he's right
He said he's just used the hot line
And God's got a message for me
He says
He condemns my situation if I wanna find salvation
It's time to phone in my donation as a vow of faith
He tells me that the church has got an image to protect
And god wants me to give - give till it hurts

Stayed me hand - it's just as well
They caught him using God's tax-free cash
To feed the kitty in some cheap motel
And now he's going to hell

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]
