A Religion Without Love

©2006 Garrett Clevenger

Gm   Cm    Gm    D  Cm  

Gm   Cm         A crime without a witness.
Gm   Cm         A clown without his makeup on.
Gm   Cm         A book without meaning.
Gm   Cm         A religion without love.
 
Gm   Cm         A people without a conscience.
Gm   Cm         A reason without much sense.
Gm   Cm         A camara with a focused lens.
Gm   Cm         An action with consequence.

Gm   Cm         Nothin' exist inside a vacuum.
Gm   Cm         Every bomb has a boom.
Gm   Cm         Every person who is tortured
Gm   Cm         brings us closer to our doom.
 
Dm    C       It don't matter if you're guilty,
A       Gm    there's no trial anyway.
A       Bb      But you better tell them somethin'
C       Cm     so you may live to see another day.  

Gm   Cm         Al Qaeda's
Gm   Cm         insurgency.
Gm   Cm         Osama's Muhjadeen
Gm   Cm         the CIA trained and paid.  

Gm   Cm         They're comin' from the darkness.
Gm   Cm         They're flyin' in the sky.
Gm   Cm         Terrorizin’ civilians.
Gm   Cm         Blowin' them up to see them die.  

Gm   Cm         I gotta wonder what they're feelin'
Gm   Cm         bleedin' on the ground.
Gm   Cm         They're probably wishin’ insane Saddam
Gm   Cm         Hussein was still around.  

Gm   Cm         All our values will not save us.
Gm   Cm         All our wealth is valueless
Gm   Cm         when we become like our enemy
Gm   Cm         and sell our souls
Cm   Gm         and sell our souls to oppress.
 
{1st verse}
Cm                  a religion
Cm   Gm         a religion without love.

Gm   Cm         It’s not over.  Don’t applaud.
