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
