Alleged Legends

Some people live their lives by a little red book

The points for right lying out and guides them good

They never really mimic every word by eye

'Cause if they did they'd be in a whole world of strife

The book's quite old school, but then it was tough

It contains some quite experimental justice

The thinking people are thinking that without this book

That without these verses we'd pillage and murder but

Following this red book word for word

Leads you to actually pillage and murder

Could it be so what we think to be right

Is simply the opinion that survived?

Do what you think's right and you will feel alright

'Cause when you're bad you will feel sad

That's the religion I live by

There's a bloke in the book who made everything

He knows every individual and every trick in them

Way above emotion, never getting stressed

But when men choose against him, gets jealous

People fight for him in crippling wars

But since he has the power of infinite awe

We're merely itching on futilities floor

Should we really be needing to assist him at all?

If he loves us all, knowing all we think

Should he only like people with faith in him?

Given I can't control what I truly believe

Can I be forgiven for only believing who I see?

Do what you think's right and you will feel alright

'Cause when you're bad you will feel sad

That's the religion I live by

Do what you think's right and you will feel alright

'Cause when you're bad you will feel sad

That's the religion I live by

Could it be time to avoid this bush

So we wouldn't be blind when joining up coulds?

Could we see both sides of the coin for the good

Breed less strife on our voyage for good?

Getting threatened by men with questions

We'll never get anywhere rejecting evidence

Could we test everything instead of betting

On alleged legends?

If we teach that it's right to blindly believe

If we reach to the sky to define our meaning

Well, I agree what's right will keep driving people

To fight with people

Do what you think's right and you will feel alright

'Cause when you're bad you will feel sad

That's the religion I live by
