My Hand to God's Mouth

In the beginning it was written there was the heaven and the earth
But there was nobody there to see it
Now w/that fatal a flaw in the very first line
Why should I believe it?
Everyone you meet has a murderer in their heart
Most may never use it but it's been there from the start
And even in the folk tale w/only 4 people in the world
One son kills the other over mom 'cause she's a girl
My hand to god's mouth
I'm gonna shut her up
I'm gonna shut her out
For goodness' sake they tell you all the time it's for goodness' sake
Till they got you where they want you and it's amazing how fast  we can break
Well look me in the eye after you've thought about it man
Is there anything out there you can see looks like it's part of any plan?
My hand to god's mouth
I'm gonna shut her up
I'm gonna shut her out
Tie my hands w/piety, crush the animal w/guilt
Disguise it as salvation as you have the infidels killed
Take our children's innocence and put it on the rack
And tell me, baby, one more time, about that guy who"s coming back
My hand to god's mouth
I'm gonna shut her up
I'm gonna shut her out
I'm a finely tuned tornado twisting words and just like you
I have no idea what I'm talking about and I don't know what to do
But I know what I'm not gonna listen to 'cause I've heard it all before
Neither serve in heaven  or rule in hell I'm deserting from yr holy war
My hand to god's mouth
I'm gonna shut her up
I'm gonna shut her out
In the beginning it was written there was the heaven and the earth
But there was nobody there to see it
Now w/that fatal a flaw in the very first line
Why should I believe it?
