I hate all your show and pretense
The hypocrisy of your praise
The hypocrisy of your festivals

I hate all your show

Away with your noisy worship

Away with your noisy hymns
I stop up my ears when you're singin' 'em
I hate all your show


Instead let there be a flood of justice
An endless procession of righteous living, living

Instead let there be a flood of justice
Instead of a show


Your eyes are closed when you're prayin'
You sing out aloud with the band
You shine up your shoes for services

There's blood on your hands

You turned your back on the homeless

And the ones that don't fit in your plan
Quit playin' religion games
There's blood on your hands


Instead let there be a flood of justice
An endless procession of righteous living, living

Instead let there be a flood of justice
Instead of a show
I hate all your show


Let's argue this out
If your sins are blood red

Let's argue this out
You be one of the clouds
Let's argue this out

Quit fooling around

Give love to the ones who can't love at all

Give hope to the ones who've got no hope at all
Stand up for the ones who can't stand at all


I hate all your show
I hate all your show
I hate all your show

I hate all your show

Instead let there be a flood of justice

An endless procession of righteous living, living
Instead let there be a flood of justice
Instead of a show

I hate all your show
