Riches of the Poor - Liberal Theocracy Lyrics

I grew up in a liberal theocracy
Where religion meant more than nationality
Complex delusions of ethnicity were all around

Distorted versions of history
Blood thirsty media confusing me
I took most of it for granted just like everyone else

But power corrupts, nationalism blinds
And for religion I have no words
Together they turned my home into hell
So I guess I won't be going back to Israel

And don't you know we're never wrong
So if you don't like what we do
It's 'cause you're obsessed with your hate for us

And don't you know we must be that strong
And when we act in self-defense
The death ratio is a hundred to one

'Cause power corrupts, nationalism blinds
And for religion I have no words
Together they turned my home into hell
So I guess I won't be going back to Israel

The destructive arrogance was written in our plans
We're plain old colonists, somewhat late

Clumsily trying to hide the blood on our hands
But there's too much blood now
Who's gonna believe us now anyway

'Cause power corrupts, nationalism blinds
And for religion I have no words
Together they turned my home into hell
So I guess I won't be going back to Palestine
