lyrics

In the beginning of time, everyone got along fine
Until one day one man saw another man’s gland
And said, “Hey – his dick is bigger than mine!”
He felt inadequate, having such a small dick
But he said, “That’s OK, I’ll be a big dick some other way.”

So he made bigger guns and he built bigger bombs
For thousands of years through blood and tears
He continued to carry on
Feeling so insecure and acting so immature
This is the story of war

And once upon a time, people used their own minds
Until one day one man out of self doubt
Decided only his way could be right
He told them what to believe, and if they thought differently,
Well then quite simply they were wrong

He created guilt and he created sin
For thousands of years exploiting the very
Fears he filled them with
What you should think and feel, that ain’t your decision
Yeah, this is the story of religion

People continue to fight and to be lead around blind
But one day, one man’s shallow world
Won’t be affecting mine
Peace is long overdue, salvation’s way past time
This is the story of your life
It’s time to open our hearts, it’s time to open our minds
We’re writing the story of our lives
