Instead of a Show Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hate all your show and pretense
The hypocrisy of your praise
The hypocrisy of your festivals
I hate all your show

[Verse 2]
Away with your noisy worship
Away with your noisy hymns
I stop up my ears when you're singing them
I hate all your show

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Your eyes are closed when you're praying
You sing right along with the band
You shine up your shoes for services
But there's blood on your hands

[Verse 4]
You've turned your back on the homeless
And the ones who don't fit in your plan
Quit playing religion games
There's blood on your hands

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Let's argue this out
If your sins are blood red, let's argue this out
You'll be white as 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 got no hope at all
Stand up for the ones who can't stand at all, all

[Tag]
I hate all your show
I hate all your show
I hate all your show
I hate all your show

[Chorus]
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
