Alleged Legends Lyrics - Everything Is Borrowed - Streets

Some people live their lives by a little red book 

The points for right lying out and guides them good 

They never really mimic every word by eye 

'Cause if they did they'd be in a whole world of strife 

The book's quite old school, but then it was tough 

It contains some quite experimental justice 

The thinking people are thinking that without this book 

That without these verses we'd pillage and murder but 

Following this red book word for word 

Leads you to actually pillage and murder 

Could it be so what we think to be right 

Is simply the opinion that survived? 

Do what you think's right and you will feel alright 

'Cause when you're bad you will feel sad 

That's the religion I live by 

There's a bloke in the book who made everything 

He knows every individual and every trick in them 

Way above emotion, never getting stressed 

But when men choose against him, gets jealous 

People fight for him in crippling wars 

But since he has the power of infinite awe 

We're merely itching on futilities floor 

Should we really be needing to assist him at all? 

If he loves us all, knowing all we think 

Should he only like people with faith in him? 

Given I can't control what I truly believe 

Can I be forgiven for only believing who I see? 

Do what you think's right and you will feel alright 

'Cause when you're bad you will feel sad 

That's the religion I live by 

Do what you think's right and you will feel alright 

'Cause when you're bad you will feel sad 

That's the religion I live by 

Could it be time to avoid this bush 

So we wouldn't be blind when joining up coulds? 

Could we see both sides of the coin for the good 

Breed less strife on our voyage for good? 

Getting threatened by men with questions 

We'll never get anywhere rejecting evidence 

Could we test everything instead of betting 

On alleged legends? 

If we teach that it's right to blindly believe 

If we reach to the sky to define our meaning 

Well, I agree what's right will keep driving people 

To fight with people 

Do what you think's right and you will feel alright 

'Cause when you're bad you will feel sad 

That's the religion I live by
