about

This song bluntly calls out the hypocrisy of the American Religious Right, and George W. Bush in particular, when it comes to dealing with ideas and cultures that they don't understand. For a religion that claims to be all about Love, it's rare to find a politically-motivated Christian to show even the smallest amount of that love to others, whether it's the LGBTQ community, Muslims, people of color, or even women.

This would become the first of many protest songs that would litter throughout the SaviorSelf.07.05.98 discography, as my railing against American Christianity is a central piece to the identity of MAV_SKY-1.exe throughout later records.

lyrics

All my life, I've heard you say
"Jesus is the only way"
I hear you cry, and I hear you moan
But I never see you live that way

Do you believe in Love?
Do you believe in Love?

Hypocrite (4x)

I heard that you're fighting some Jihad
Over in the Middle East
You say that God wanted you to strike
But we all know it's for oil

Do you believe in Love?
Do you believe in Love?

Hypocrite (8x)

(Guitar solo)

Do you believe in Love?
Do you believe in Love?

Hypocrite (8x)
