Corrosion of Conformity - Mine Are The Eyes Of God

Taught to believe from the onset Of heaven & hell & between The institution's retribution Damnation from on high Living & dying together Never did nothing at all Except for the few Who got rich off of you & The rest They were herded like sheep (Chorus) Mine are the eyes of God & What I see is not What was meant to be Mine are the eyes of God Mine are the eyes Mine are the eyes of God Down the road to betrayal Of values they held to be true Abberrations Deviation To get to the spirit of life The whole goddamn world is riding On words for thousands of years It's just like the west To think it knows best When answers are subject to change (Chorus) They took what could have been & Turned it upside down They twisted all things seen What's lost must now be found I got to see it Got to believe it I got to be there I got to see it Got to believe it Given the power of reason Yet throwing it all to the wind No solution In evolution Only the blood-stained glass A soul full of lies in contention Begs sacred yet worships profane Lose sight of the fact That you're where it's at Not the stars Not the cross Nor the moon (Chorus)
