[Verse 1]
You are born into this world
Looking down the barrel of a gun
And those who hold the gun want you to work fast and die young
And if you don't work, if you don't obey
They'll make you live in fear till your dying day
Those who govern hold the gun to your head
With religious corporations proud of blood they've shed

[Chorus]
Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same and it's all just fear under another name
Whether it's God  up above
It's just the same and it's all just fear under another name

[Verse 2]
And the corporate snakes come in to feed
On the pathetic fact known as human greed
Skin and bones being raked over those hot coals
This system never seems to give time for human souls
And all those things that we have learned
No time for questions, you just get burned

You just get burned

[Chorus]
Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same and it's all just fear under another name
Whether it's God up above
It's just the same and it's all just fear under another name
Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same and it's all just fear under another name
Whether it's God up above
It's just the same and it's all just fear under another name

[Verse 3]
And words crush you flat like a skull under a brick
And the filth poured down your throat that makes you sick
And you can see right through the lies
That make you feel, that make you live
And you're taught to hold tight yet you won't know why
Done values forced upon you by a living lie
