How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one?

Saint gone astray
With a scepter and a gun

Learn to believe
In the might and the strong

Come bleed the beast
Follow me it won't be long

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Straight is the path
Leading to your salvation
Slaying the weak
Ethnic elimination

Any day we'll all be
Swept away
You'll be saved
As long as you obey

Lies
Tools of the devil inside
Written in Holy disguise
Meant to deceive and divide
Us all

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Blurring the lines
Between virtue and sin
They can't tell
Where God ends
And mankind begins

They know no other
Life but this
From the cradle
They are claimed

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God
Hundreds of believers
Lured into a doomsday cult

All would perish
In the name of God

Self-proclaimed messiah
Led his servants
To their death
Eighty murdered
In the name of God

Forty sons and daughters
Un-consenting plural wives
Perversions
In the name of God

Underground religion
Turning toward
The mainstream light
Blind devotion
In the name of God

Justifying violence
Citing from the Holy Book
Teaching hatred
In the name of God

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Religious beliefs
Fanatic obsession
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?

Unyielding crusade
Divine revelation
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?

1. Jim Croiche (sp)

The cat's in the cradle

[Fiona]

2. Jim Croce

didn't do Cats in the Cradle. Harry Chapin did.

[Erika]

4. Maybe my memory doesn't serve me correctly

but the song reminds me of Cats in the Cradle. You're saying Croce didn't sing this?

[Fiona]

5. Yes, I'm saying that.

It was a Harry Chapin song. But they were both fine singers/songwriters.

[ET Awful]

6. Yup, both great singer/songwriters, but with very distinct styles

and very different types of imagery in their songs.

Croce wasn't too big on horns, violins and such in his tunes :)

[Kire]

3. They remind me...

...that I'm hungry and I need to feed myself, and not waste my time with so many posts with long lyrics on DU tonight. No offense.

[HEAVYHEART]

7. Easy

Reading these lyrics reminds me of the fucking chimp! :grr:
