Hymn for the 81% (Demo)

I grew up in your churches Sunday morning, evening service Knelt in tears at the foot of the rugged cross You taught me every life is sacred Feed the hungry, clothe the naked I learned from you the highest law is Love I believed you when you said That I should trust the words in red To guide my steps through a wicked world I assumed you'd do the same So imagine my dismay When I watched you lead the sheep to the wolves You said to love the lost So I'm loving you now You said to speak the truth I'm calling you out Why don't you live the words That you put in my mouth? May love overcome and justice roll down Oh, they started putting kids in cages Ripping mothers from their babies And I looked to you to speak on their behalf Oh, but all I heard was silence Or worse you justified it Singing glory hallelujah raise the flag Your fear had turned to hatred But you baptized it with language Torn from the pages of the good book You weaponized religion And you wonder why I'm leaving To find Jesus on the wrong side of your walls You said to love the lost So I'm loving you now You said to speak the truth So I'm calling you out Why don't you live the words That you put in my mouth? May love overcome and justice roll down Come home Come home You're better You taught me better than this Come home Come home You're better than this You taught me better than this Come home Come home Oh, you're better than this You taught me better than this Come home Come home Oh You said to love the lost I'm trying to love you now You said speak the truth So I'm calling you out I wish you'd live the words That you put in my mouth! May love overcome and justice roll down May love overcome and justice roll down May love overcome and justice roll down May love overcome and justice roll down
