No Religion - Van Morrison

We didn’t know no better, and they said it could be worse

Some people thought it was blessing

Other people think that it’s a curse

It’s a choice between fact and fiction

And the whole world has gone astray

That’s why there’s no religion, no religion, no religion here today

And there’s no straight answers

Of what this thing called love is all about

Some say it’s unconditional

Other people just remain in doubt

Well I cleaned up my diction, I had nothing left to say

Except there’s no religion, no religion, no religion here today

And they ask what hate is

It’s just the other side of love

Some people want to give their enemies

Everything they think that they deserve

Some say why don’t you love your neighbours

Go ahead, turn the other cheek

But there’s nobody on this planet that can ever be so meek

And I can’t bleed for you

You have to do it your own way

And there’s no religion, no religion, no religion here today

And they ask what hate is

It’s just the other side of love

Some people want to give their enemies

Everything they think that they deserve

Some say why don’t you love your neighbours

Go ahead, turn the other cheek

But have you ever met anybody who’s ever been the meek

And it’s so cruel to expect the saviour to save the day

And there’s no religion, no religion, no religion here today

And there’s no mystery, and there’s nothing hidden

And there’s no religion here today

And there’s no religion, no religion, no religion here today
