Well I see the people in the balconies On the streets and in their cars The party going animals out in the back rooms And the bars saying we don't need religion We don't need religion And I been a timber jack been a labourer Been a shipyard man and a shirker Been builder building houses And heard a million Macdonald's workers Saying we don't need religion We don't need religion We don't need religion But we could use the love of God
Well I've got false prophets on my TV telling me This union's doomed While the spirit filled believers Shake up the floor space in the room Saying we don't need religion we don't need religion So come all you Preachers and Pastors All you Priests and Nuns and scholars Come on and walk down the road without those robes Crucifixes and Orange collars singing We don't bleed religion We don't bleed religion we don't need religion But we could use the love of God
Now is it Saturday or is it Sunday The fact is I'm never sure There's a Sabbath in there some way How come we never try Yom Kippur We can't eat religion we don't need religion And while we're all so busy fighting Using up God's precious time There's a thousand starving homeless people saying Buddy can you spare a dime saying We can't eat religion we can't eat religion yeah We don't need religion but we Could use the love of God
