God Was Never On Your Side Lyrics
Motörhead
Lyrics
If the stars
Fall down on me
And the sun
Refused to shine
Then may the shackles be undone
May all the old words
Cease to rhyme
If the sky
Turned Into Stone
It will matter not at all
For there is no heaven
In the sky
Hell does not wait
For our downfall
Let the voice of reason shine
Let the pyres vanish
For all time
God's face is hidden
All unseen
You can't ask him
What it all means
He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong
Alone decide
God was never on your side.
See ten thousand
Ministries
See the holy
Righteous Dogs
They claim to heal
But all they do is steal
Abuse your faith
Cheat and rob
If God is wise
Why is he still
When these false profits
Call him friend
Why is he silent
Is he blind?!
Are we abandoned
in the end?
Let the sword of reason shine
Let us be free
of prayer and shrine
God's face is hidden
turned away
He never has a word to say
He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong
Alone decide
God was never on your side!
(Guitar solo)
He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Never!
Never!
Never!
Never!
Never on your side!
God was never on your side
Never on your side...
