Roy Harper - If lyrics

[Roy Harper - If lyrics]

If it was right to be believing
And write his name in blood
And then I met him when I died
Well I'd have it out with god
But if it means degrading scenes
And sanctioning crusade
I'd know we couldn't stand man to man
Without feeling afraid

If it was wrong for not believing
In fairytale facade
And then I met him when I died
Well I'd apologise to god but if it meant
I went down on my knees
Well where's the spirit gone
Where's the love you're all talking of
When you can't stand man to man? Man to man

When you can't stand man to man
I find it hard to believe
In these 'gospels' that I've heard
The forked tongue of the bible belt
The ayatollah's word
I don't believe most anything
Spoken by anyone as hell's fanatic paranoids
Fire heaven's loaded gun

If it was right to be believing
Then it must be in this
That difference is beautiful
And living it is bliss there are no teams
There is no side that life on earth is done
By living the love you're only talking of
By standing man to man man to man
