Should I Call You Jesus?
Religions all around the world
Every man, every woman
Every want to be martyr
We have to learn, to learn
The way we need to live together
If the planet Earth stopped revolving
Would religion really matter anymore?
And if Jerusalem began dissolving
You'd see the man from Salt Lake City
At your door
I believe
I believe
That there's so much more
Than we can see
I believe
I believe
That there's more to life
There's more to life than this
Chorus:
Should I call you Jesus?
Or should I call you Buddha
Don't you know Jehovah
He read the cabbala
Should I talk to Allah?
Does it really matter?
God is god
By any god-given name
If the Vatican
built all the temples
Would confession
drive the innocent insane?
And if charity
organized religion
Would there be wealth enough
To chant away the day
I believe
I believe
That there's more to life
There's more to life than this
Chorus:
Some people, some people
Say he won't answer
I say that the question
should change
(Solo)
Our father who art in heaven
Ancient omnipresent
Hallowed be thy name
Legendary reincarnation
Chameleon of faith
Untruth Man-made
Our father who art in heaven
If I get your name wrong
Will you turn me away?
Chorus:
Religion isn't hate
Religion isn't war
Genocide, brutal or cruel
It doesn't kill
Discriminate
It isn't vicious
And it doesn't violate
It isn't massacre
Bloodshed
Conflict or slaughter
Barbaric terror
Barbaric torture
Tyranny
Dictatorship
Or fear
Religions all around the world
Every man, every woman
Every want to be martyr
We have to learn, to learn
The way we need to live together
I ask only one question
Should I call you Jesus?
Does it really matter?
Come over here and have a beer!
