lyrics

God called down from the mountain
God called down from the sky,
He said, I told ya, I told ya, I told ya,
Don't Kill, Don't Kill, Don't Kill!

Don't kill for lovin'
Please don't kill for hate,
Don't you kill in my name
Don't kill for heaven's sake,
Don't Kill, Don't Kill, Don't Kill!

Once again you didn't understand me,
Or you disobeyed from all I can detect.
From what I remember I did more than ask you,
I commanded it from what I recollect.
Thou shalt, thou shalt, what part of "thou shalt not kill" don't you understand?

Was it the "Thou" part that threw you?
Thou just means you.
Was it the "Shalt not" part that confused you?
Shalt not means "don't".
Don't Kill, Don't Kill, Don't Kill!

There are no divinely sanctioned murders
Who would know better than me?
I'm God, how come you don't listen to me?
I've been saying the same shit for centuries.
Don't Kill, Don't Kill!

You say it's Me that you worship
All you Christians, all you Muslims, all you Jews.
I'm gonna say again, don't kill your neighbor.
Jesus Christ this shouldn't even be news!
Don't Kill, don't kill, don't kill.

I thought I etched this in stone! Were you even looking?
