You told me stories to keep me in line
My contradictions would set them aside, (Just like that)
I don't see the light, or a grand holy guy
I only see stars, and the sun in the sky
That's why...
I can't buy salvation to better my life
I won't drink the blood of your son, Jesus Christ
I'm not a lost soul who can't figure out what's right
Cause I don't need your blood to know love, Mister Christ
If Prejudice lurks in the words from on high
Then faith isn't worth all the hate that would fly
I'll tumble through the darkness, without your holy light
And my labour of love is us getting by
That's why...
I can't buy salvation to better my life
I won't drink the blood of your son, Jesus Christ
I'm not a lost soul who can't figure out what's right
Cause I don't need your blood to know love, Mister Christ
We'll drink a full jug of no blood, just the wine
We'll drink til the morning and deal with our lives
We'll still fear the future, we'll still fry our minds
And we'll still know love, but with our blood, Mister Christ
