lyrics

All this I don’t understand
Why are we believing in him?

I don’t get what the preacher said
Sin, repent it’s OK when you’re dead
Weakness, infidelity, greed and kill
It's all good with his mysterious pill

All this I don’t understand
Why are you believing in him?

You get to choose between Venus and Mars
Yet here you are starting optional wars
Doubling down on hate like it's the only way
While pretending you’re giving peace away

All this I don’t understand
What can you be seeing in him?

I know some of what he did to you
You say it's all past but baby that ain’t true
Saw the way you looked at him the other day
Now you tell me you’ve got nothing to say?

All this I don’t understand
How can you see forgiving him?

All this I don’t understand
How can you see forgiving him?

I don’t believe in no culture war
People are the same as they were before
(Don’t) magnify intolerance, division & strife
No one cares how you live your life

All this I don’t understand
How can you be following him?

I don’t care what the preacher said
Sins ain’t absolved; it's all in your head
Love, accountability, peace & grace
that’s all that matters to the human race

All this I don’t understand
No, I just don’t understand
Why are we believing in him?
