Amos 5 Songtext
von Jerusalem

We don′t want religion, no no no
Substitute for the real thing
Ruthless in the fake and control
Charismatic or traditional
Still the same deadly leaven
Standing in the way
Hindering those that in honesty want to get to heaven
Reach heaven, yeah

Comes dressed like an angel
Knows how to do the Jesus talk
Tricking those who's out for a serious walk
Putting us to sleep in a churchy la-la-la-la-lullaby
Religious politics sending millions to die
Wake up or we go down to the thongs on that lukewarm sound


I want justice (I want justice)
I want justice (I want justice)
Fairness, justice, yeah
That′s all I want
That's what I want
Oceans of it, yeah

Don't believe the lies
God says
"I can′t stand your religious meetings
I′m fed up with your conferences and boring sermons
I'm tired of your image-making, pretentious slogans and gurus
I′ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music
Sing to me for a change"

I want justice (I want justice)
I, I want, I want justice (I want justice)
I want fairness
Oceans of it (I want justice)
That's what I want, yeah
That′s all I want, yeah

And we lost it, yes we did
And we don't even see it


For the sake of pleasing men
Is it worth it in the end?
It′s our life
We're talking about our own existence now
If we only knew
How he broke his heart and left the truth
Honesty, yeah
Honesty in you and me
Have we lost it on the way?
Dare to say it, yeah

I want justice
Yesterday's man can′t satisfy
I want justice (I want justice)
That′s what I want, what I want, what I want, yeah

Don't stand in the way (I want justice)
Make mercy, oh
Blow that smokescreen away, yeah
Oh, I want you to take his place (I want justice)
Covering his beautiful face
Don′t be mad if I speak the truth to thee (I want justice)
Oh, let them see Jesus, the real one in you and me
