Hear the crack of a bullet down on seventh avenue tonight / Man lies bleeding on the floor / Hear the cry of the cop car as the streets are filled with blue and white / They all rush into the clinic door

And I?m never gonna know how you ever get to sleep at night / And justify the things you do / With your hand on the Bible, you say you killed a killing man / Well mister what does that make you?

And it?s all in the name of God / And it?s all in the name of God

See the crosses burning, lighting up the southern sky / Feel the hatred in the air Slip into your white robe, to cover up your blackened heart / You don?t become that cross you wear


And it?s all in the name of God / And it?s all in the name of God / Hear the newsmen talking, but they don?t help me understand / No I can?t claim to comprehend / See the buildings tumbling, so I drop a knee and say a prayer / For the city that?ll never ever sleep again

And it?s all in the name of God / And it?s all in the name of God

And we all got our ways to justify the things we hate / We all got our ways of throwing the first stone / But if you wanna hate, then please leave God alone
