Angry that I may die by another’s hand
Feel sick that many may die ’cos of one command
They wanna fuck us all up, god-given power as a cover-up
God help me
No reply, it’s all a lie (their power comes from us)

God help me, Jesus save me, Priest forgive me
Lover see me, 'Enemy' love me
Mother feed me. Father show me
Teacher learn me. Government leave me
Or am I asking too much?

If that day will come, then I’m told I’ll be alright
Cos I’ve been taught to beg for forgiveness all my life
Well, it better fucking work ’cos I hate crawling like a jerk
Jesus save me
Shit, I’ve been conned
A respected place in the set up of the state
Is a church with a man moralising others
Pray or burn sisters and brothers, last rites as I die
Priest forgive me
Before you burn too

God help me, Jesus save me, Priest forgive me
Lover see me, 'Enemy' love me
Mother feed me. Father show me
Teacher learn me. Government leave me
Or am I asking too much?

In a world so sick with hate and war
There’s always someone I turn to for love and understanding
Saw only each other, now die together
Lover see me
We blinded each other (see me for myself)

God help me, Jesus save me, Priest forgive me
Lover see me, 'Enemy' love me
Mother feed me. Father show me
Teacher learn me. Government leave me
Or am I asking too much?
As one last fling, all nations joined and began to sing
Against those who’d sooner blow our dreams of peace away
Far too late to save anything, time to decay
‘Enemy’ love me
But we should have loved sooner (it’s not too late)
Don’t do this, don’t do that, do this, do that
Eat meat and be strong like dad, cute and kept in a cage
You can get used to oppression at a very early age
Mother feed me
Too late to grow my own (smother love)

God help me, Jesus save me, Priest forgive me
Lover see me, 'Enemy' love me
Mother feed me. Father show me
Teacher learn me. Government leave me
Or am I asking too much?

In history at school, always told of wars of past
Got told to stay behind for falling asleep in class
Pissed off with a blood stained system which just cannot last
Teacher learn me
Something useful for a change
Greedy power perverted shits sitting high and mighty
Dreaming of a place in history while slowly killing ‘blighty’
You always dwell on the past and our future’s just a blast
Government leave me
’Cos with you there’s no future to be had
God help me, Jesus save me, Priest forgive me
Lover see me, 'Enemy' love me
Mother feed me. Father show me
Teacher learn me. Government leave me
Or am I asking too much?
