Instead Of A Show Lyrics - Limbs And Branches - Jon Foreman

I hate all your show and pretense 

The hypocrisy of your praise 

The hypocrisy of your festivals 

I hate all your show 

Away with your noisy worship 

Away with your noisy hymns 

I stop up my ears when you're singin' 'em 

I hate all your show 

Instead let there be a flood of justice 

An endless procession of righteous living, living 

Instead let there be a flood of justice 

Instead of a show 

Your eyes are closed when you're prayin' 

You sing out aloud with the band 

You shine up your shoes for services 

There's blood on your hands 

You turned your back on the homeless 

And the ones that don't fit in your plan 

Quit playin' religion games 

There's blood on your hands 

Instead let there be a flood of justice 

An endless procession of righteous living, living 

Instead let there be a flood of justice 

Instead of a show 

I hate all your show 

Let's argue this out 

If your sins are blood red 

Let's argue this out 

You be one of the clouds 

Let's argue this out 

Quit fooling around 

Give love to the ones who can't love at all 

Give hope to the ones who've got no hope at all 

Stand up for the ones who can't stand at all 

I hate all your show 

I hate all your show 

I hate all your show 

I hate all your show 

Instead let there be a flood of justice 

An endless procession of righteous living, living 

Instead let there be a flood of justice 

Instead of a show 

I hate all your show
