STOP
your short-breathed ambivalence
STOP
your long-sighing apathy
STOP
your faithless searching
STOP
your holy hypocrisy

START
acting like you mean it
when you say you believe
in love and all that's good

START
giving more than lip service
to the preaching of spirit
and love your neighbor-hood

STOP
damning us with judgments
as if you know better
with your fingers curled

STOP
sending young men to war
pretending it's righteous
to fuck up the world

STOP
fighting over beliefs
you don't even live up to
we all see your greed

STOP
pretending you're good men
when you don't give people
what they really need

START
answering the questions
about lies you've told us
to buy our silence

START
being real role models
show us love and truth
are our greatest defence

STOP
corrupting our morals
as if you're above us
hiding behind your God

STOP
poisoning our planet
and all your fear-mongering
making our lives so hard

START
acting like you mean it
when you say you believe
in love and all that's good

START
giving more than lip service
to the preaching of spirit
and love your neighbor-hood
