If it was right to be believing,

and write his name in blood

and then I met him when I died,

well I'd have it out with god

but if it means

degrading scenes

and sanctioning crusade

I'd know we couldn't stand man to man

without feeling afraid



If it was wrong for not believing,

in fairytale facade

and then I met him when I died,

well I'd apologise to dog

But if it meant

I went down on my knees

well where's the spirit gone

where's the love you're all talking of

when you can't stand man to man?

Man to man

When you can't stand man to man.



I find it hard to believe,

in these 'gospels' that I've heard

the forked tongue of the bible belt,

the ayatollah's word

I don't believe most anything

spoken by anyone

as hell's fanatic paranoids

fire heaven's loaded gun



If it was right to be believing,

then it must be in this

that difference is beautiful,

and living it is bliss,

there are no teams

there is no side

that life on earth is done

by living the love you're only talking of

by standing man to man

Man to man
