i don't need germany
i don't need france or italy
i don't need great britain or spain
and i don't need the usa
i don't need any of this crap
frontiers created through bloodshed
through wars and pain, through hate and greed
there's only one country that i need
the kingdom of god
and it's in our hearts
the kingdom of god
doesn't depend on wars
the kingdom of god
is among us
and it's full of peace and of mercy and of love
i can't stand your politics
don't dare to use the christ for it
and i can't stand your crusades
your blessed bombs, religious hate
it got nothing to do with god
with all the good things that christ taught
you abuse and misuse his name
your countries will go down in flames
but
the kingdom of god...
i spit on your nation
i spit on your flag
i spit on your pride
it's only there to seperate
i spit on your armies
on your governments
who should serve but instead strive
for fame, power and decadence
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
