Beyond the rules of religion

The cloth of conviction

Above all the competition

Where fact and fiction meet

There's no color lines, casts or classes

There is no fooling the masses
Am C
Whatever faith you practice

Whatever you believe
Am F G
Heaven. Heaven.
Am F G
What the hell is Heaven?
F G Am
Is there a home for the homeless?
F G Am
Is there hope for the hopeless?
Throw away your misconceptions
There´ no walls around heaven
There's no codes you gotta know to get in
No minutemen or border patrol
You must lose all earthly possession
Leave behind your weapon
You cannot buy your salvation
There is no pot of gold
(Chorus)
Heaven ain't got no prisons
No government no business
No banks or politicians
No armies and no police
Castles and cathedrals crumble
Pyramids and pipelines tumble
The failure keeps you humble
Leads us closer to peace
