Lyrics No Religion - Van Morrison

We didn′t know no better
And they said it could be worse
Some people thought it was a blessing
Other people think that it's a curse
It′s a choice between fact and fiction
And the whole world has gone astray
That's why there's no religion
No religion, no religion here today
And there′s no straight answers (no straight answers)
What this thing called love is all about?
(What this thing called love is all about?)
Some say it′s unconditional
(Some say it's unconditional)
Other people just remain in doubt
(Other people just remain in doubt)
Well, I cleaned up my diction
I had nothing left to say
Except there′s no religion
No religion, no religion here today
And they ask what hate is
(They ask what hate is)
It's just the other side of love
(Just the other side of love)
Some people want to give their enemies
(Some people want to give their enemies)
Everything they think that they deserve
(Everything they think that they deserve)
Some say, "Why don′t you love your neighbors?"
(Why don't you love your neighbors?)
Go ahead and turn the other cheek
(Go ahead and turn the other cheek now)
Nobody on this planet (on this planet)
That can ever be so meek
(That can ever be so meek)
And I can′t bleed for you
(I can't bleed for you)
You have to do it your own way
(You have to do it your own way)
And there's no religion
No religion, no religion here today
No religion, no religion
No religion here today
And they ask what hate is
(Ask what hate is)
That′s the other side of love
(That′s the other side of love)
Some people want to give their enemies
(Some people want to give their enemies)
Everything they think that they deserve
(Everything they think that they deserve)
Others say, "Why don't you love your neighbors?"
(Why don′t you love your neighbors?)
Go ahead and turn the other cheek
(Oh, go ahead and turn the other cheek now)
Have you ever met anybody
(Have you ever met anybody)
Who's ever been that meek
(Who′s ever been that meek)
And it's so cruel (it′s so cruel)
Expect to savior to save the day
(Oh, save the day)
And there's no religion
No religion, no religion here today
And there's no mystery
And there′s nothing hidden
And there′s no religion here today
And there's no mystery
And there′s nothing hidden
And there's no religion here today
And there′s no religion
No religion, no religion here today
