Your path chosen before you can walk
Repeated dogma puts the fear in us
Your script is written before you can talk
The way he moves is not so mysterious

Fight all your instincts
Share all your shame
Spill all your guilt, child
All in his name

(God)
We're born in slavery
(Oh God)
We live in fear of God
Oh please, free me

Whether you wake up on sheets of silk
Or to the sound of machine gun fire
When they claim 'evil' they're in for the kill
Holier than thou, strike up the death choir

Raise up your arms now
Children, rejoice
Hatred is sacred
You have no choice

(God)
We're born in slavery
(Oh God)
We live in fear of God
We're born in slavery
(Oh God)
We live in fear of God
Oh please, free me

Under the same sun
All faith is fear
Speaking in tongues but
Does anyone hear?

(God)
We're born in slavery
(Oh God)
We live in fear of God
We're born in slavery
(Oh God)
We live in fear of God
Oh please, free me
