Nothing good ever comes from it
Holy wars and a history full of death
Trial by God and they'll hang you
Need not apply if this cross you ain't wearing
Eye for an eye, livin' out Hammurabi
Long after the fall of Babylon
Misinterpretation becomes the law
Put on your best face, or it's guilt we saw
I don't need it
I won't read it
So close your book and open your eyes
I won't need it
I don't read it
So close your book and open your mind
Don't curse his name unless you're praying
Forgiveness comes to only those a-paying
Some hypocrite called me a sinner
Don't need a bible for a moral conditioner
Memorizing words don't make you higher
Truth be told, you're more often a liar
Tellin' me to fall in line
Well, guess what, you're not so divine
I don't need it
I won't read it
So close your book and open your eyes
I won't need it
I don't read it
So close your book and open your mind
The truth, will set you free
The truth, will set you free
Your savior would never believe you
Sure as hell wouldn't approve of it
Don't need your book to teach me a code
While you keep sinnin' in overload
I don't need it
I won't read it
So close your book and open your eyes
I won't need it
I don't read it
So close your book and open your mind
