For The Love of God

[Verse 1]

I was doing just fine

'til the son of God had saved me, now

I sin all of the time

Livin' life begging forgiveness

[Pre-Chorus]

Sweet religion

Blood is spilling, blood is spilling

Sweet religion

Prosecute the weak and willing

[Chorus]

I've been here so long...

[whisper]:

For the love of God...

[Jimmy, spoken]:

C'mere, I got somethin' to tell ya, Jesus

[Verse 2]

My flesh is so weak

And my spirit is not so willing, baby

Turn the other cheek

And I'll spank ya right on ya ass, baby

[Pre-Chorus]

Sweet religion

Help me Satan, help me Satan

Sweet religion

Drag me down into your basement

[Chorus]

I've done nothing wrong...

[whisper]:

For the love of God...

[Jim Jones, spoken]:

If you have life instead of death, it was I that gave it to you

If you have salvation, I've brought it

My soul cries out!

[Pre-Chorus]

Sweet religion

(Blood is spilling, blood is spilling)

Sweet religion

Help me Satan, help me Satan

[Chorus]

I've been here so long...

[whisper]:

For the love of God... (slow to a stop)
