Hate In The Name Of God

sooner or later it had to happen
the monster they made from the lies they laid
has sent the plan full circle
straight to hell with love
they led with fear
they lead with fear
it can be a dangerous game
when God takes to task the monster
they created in his name

and it's all downhill from here
the terror worked so right
when those who hated terror
turned to terror in their fight

the bright white heat of anger
burns a hole right straight to hell
the devil must be smiling
at the strong persistent smell
lies and exaggerations
it was just an empty game
for getting back in power
when failure leads to gain
the money that's behind it
doesn't care what's wrong or right
it's not God that you'll be hearing
on your radio tonight

Rooms

Everything changes
the days go by
we couldn't stop it
if we tried
rooms full of wishes
rooms full of dreams
rooms full of empty
rooms we can't see

and I know
we did the best that we could
with all we didn't know
we never had a plan
and I know
the indications are good
that the better times
outnumbered the bad
I see what I can see
we say what we can stand
we live with the difference between
what we want
and what we have

youthful and crazy
easy and free
those are the memories
you and me
rooms full of magic
rooms full of pain
rooms full of secrets
rooms full of rain

and I know
we did the best that we could
with all we didn't know
we never had a plan
and I know
the indications are good
that the better times
outnumbered the bad
I see what I can see
we say what we can stand
we live with the difference between
what we want
and what we have

blacksheep soldiers
living in a different world
we let history have it's way
we have our memories of yesterday

infinite dreamers
believers in fate
someday we know it's
sooner than late
rooms full of teardrops
rooms full of regrets
rooms full of days
rooms we can't get

and I know
we did the best that we could
with all we didn't know
we never had a plan
and I know
the indications are good
that the better times
outnumbered the bad
I see what I can see
we say what we can stand
we live with the difference between
what we want
and what we have
