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
