Em                       A
We didn't know no better,
                           D
and they said it could be worse
                            Em
Some people thought it was blessing
A                               D
Other people think that it's a curse
                  G
It's a choice between fact and fiction
A                               Bm D G
And the whole world has gone astray
                   Em    A    Em     A
That's why there's no religion, no religion,
Em    A             D
no religion here today

And there's no straight answers
What this thing called love is all about
Some say it's unconditional
Other people just remain in doubt
When I cleaned up my diction
I had nothing left to say
Except there's no religion
No religion
No religion here today

         G
And they ask what hate is
A                            Bm
It's just the other side of love
                     G
Some people want to give their enemies
A                                  Bm   D
Everything they think that they deserve

Some say why don't you love your neighbours
Go ahead and turn the other cheek
But 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

No religion
No religion
No religion here today

And they ask what hate is
It's the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve

Others say why don't you love your neighbours
Go ahead and turn the other cheek
Have you ever met anybody
Who's ever been that 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 mystery
And there's nothing hidden
And there's no religion here today
And there's no religion
No religion
No religion here today
