about

comment by marcus: lyrics might sound hard, but that's at least my experience in years of bein' in services and doin' worship myself and watching how others, preachers and worshippers, sometimes behave on stage and also offstage...

lyrics

use the right words
manipulate
push the people once more
manipulate
turn the volume up
manipulate
play some touching chords
manipulate

does it feel good
this kind of power?
does it feel good
when you play with them?

does it feel good
when they follow your words?
does it feel good
when you control them?

is this what jesus meant?
No - think for yourself
is this what god wants us to be?
No – walk your own way
is this what jesus meant?
No – say your own prayer
is this how god wants us to be?
No – meet him each day

that's why it's called:
мpersonal relationship with god“

jesus was bout freedom
jesus meant real liberty
leading people away from all
what kept them in any boundaries

your system of religious meetings
is bout people staying children in faith
it means bein' dependent on your leader
your preacher and the words he's sayin'

as if they need some extra push
by the worship band
as if they need you to meet jesus
or to take his hand
as if they need some extra words
to feel that he's here
as if they need you to contact him

stay away from me - stay away from me!
