lyrics

V1:
It’s on the left, it’s on the right
Hysteria and Facebook fights
We figured out who’s wrong and right
On Twitter and YouTube
They say it’s time for taking sides
And there’s a militance for every stripe
So you grab your phone and start to type
Some bumper sticker truth, or

C:
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Of love

V2:
I heard it on the evening news
From the poets and the pundits too
So I found some preacher singing the blues
And I gave him ten percent
But what if we’re just being used
And the fear is just like heavy booze
That keeps us further from the truth
With a faulty confidence

C:

B:
Would you tell me when it’s time to speak out
Or the time to shut my mouth and listen
Cause making peace ain’t simply walking away
But facing our foes and forgiving

C:
