  • Hey man, what's the deal?
    Everything you touch, you kill
    All the soap in the world won't wash away
    All the blood that's on your hands is here to stay

    Hey man what's the use?
    There's no talking you
    When you think it's God's words that you preach
    From a book someone wrote that you read

    Hey man (what are you up to there, what's your game?)
    What's going on, something's wrong
    Hey man, what are you up to? (you keep on killing in God's name) hey man
    You're the only one to blame
    There's blood on your hands, something's wrong
    Hey man what are you up to? (have you even got a plan?)
    Or have you just lost your way?
    Men are too afraid to say everything you killed was in the name of man
    (Everything you killed)

    Hey man what's on your mind?
    Now that all your crimes have been erased by time
    And all they have, you say you own, it's what you stole
    And all those people that you buried are bones

    Hey man (what are you up to there, what's your game?)
    What's going on, something's wrong
    Hey man, what are you up to? (you keep on killing in the name of God) hey man
    You're the only one to pray
    There's been blood on your hands far too long
    Hey man what are you up to? (have you even got a plan?)
    Or have you just lost your way?
    Men are too afraid to say everything you killed was in the name of man

    What's the world
    When all the wars that you start you never win?
    Everything you love, you hurt
    Yes, all that you make fall apart don't change a thing
    (What's your game?)

    Hey man, what's going on something's wrong
    Hey man, what are you up to? (you keep on killing in the name of God) hey man
    You're the only one to pray
    There's been blood on your hands far too long
    Hey man, how can we trust you?

    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name (of man, of man, of man, of man)
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name (of man, of man, of man, of man)
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name
    Everything you killed was in the name

    When the leaves from the trees that weren't replaced
    All the air that you breathe, gone to waste
    When the world becomes a place with nothing grows
    All the land that you killed for, gone as well Writer/s: BENJAMIN PAUL BALLANCE-DREW, FOY VANCE
