It's God's Law
GOD’S LAW
Should a man be condemned for stealing a loaf of bread
After all no man should starve, no matter what you read
We have kids who whinge if they don’t have hi-tech toys
That would never think of the third worlds girls and boys
The so called righteous people, waiting at heaven’s door
Can wait a bit longer there’s no room for them any more
Don’t spend a night with the homeless and, think you know the score
Go swap your clothes with him man, then, go live his life forever more
Our shops are full of glitter, do we really need all this crap
Then off to some expensive shop to get an ice cold frappe
No one is learning anything here as long as we have all got
The churches are standing empty; we all have lost the plot
I haven’t given up on God man, but I wonder about you all
Who claim I love God, I do not know how you have the gall
God gives you everything while others out there starve on your behalf
The homeless see you as you pass by inside your pocket a golden calf
Yet greets you with a have a nice day as you pass them by
Just another number in a cold forsaken doorway; left to die
They are but a shadow of you, but in a different dimension
The more you ignore them the more you are in suspension
Until it's each of your turns to be knocking at heavens door
To find you are then returned to earth, to live it some more
It's God’s law . . .
