Lyrics

DON’T BLAME GOD

If you’re still alive and you can hear this song
You know this world cannot survive ‘cuz something’s all gone wrong
You may not like hearin’ it, You may be right in fearin’ it
But this land of ours is dying and you know it won’t be long ‘til it’s gone

She’s building up a debt that she can never pay
Piling up the bodies that she can’t hide away
Her godless people failing her like drunken sea men sailing her
Head on upon a deadly reef of greed and moral decay

So, don’t blame God for the sins of America
America has fallen from the ways of the Lord
No, don’t blame God for the sins of America
Living for the dollar, she’ll be dying by the sword

On every silver coin and every dollar bill
We read the words, “In God We Trust” while out of fear we kill
Freedom is just a mockery, a communist democracy
Materialistic pleasure slaves lookin’ for another thrill

We’ve got billion dollar churches with nobody on their knees
We’ve got so many selfish people just doin’ what they please
You know, we sent some people to the moon, we’ve got T.V. sets in every room
Just to watch a world that’s dying from starvation and disease

So, don’t blame God for the sins of America
America has fallen from the ways of the Lord
No, don’t blame God for the sins of America
Living for the dollar, she’ll be dying by the sword

But if My people who are called by My Name
Will humble themselves and pray
Seek My face and turn from their wicked ways
Then from heaven will I hear
Forgive them of their sin and heal their land
