desert messiah ain´t nothing new - we all know his kind
another self-appointed prophet with world domination
on his puny mind

whispered scenes behind closed doors
how does one make the people think
his greed´s worth dying for?
hey, let´s start a holy war!!!

chorus:
do you believe in religion?
i believe it´s your decision
do you think it makes a difference?
is it just some man-made vision?
do you believe in religion?
i believe it´s your decision
do you think it makes a difference?
do you really care any way?

midnight preacher calls me a sinner
and maybe he´s right
he said he´s just used the hot line
and god´s got a message for me
he says
he condemns my situation if i wanna find salvation
it´s time to phone in my donation as a vow of faith
he tells me that the church has got an image to protect
and god wants me to give - give till it hurts

stayed me hand - it´s just as well
they caught him using god´s tax-free cash
to feed the kitty in some cheap motel
and now he´s going to hell
