lyrics

Don't take to me of love
When it sounds like an attack
Love is not suspicious
It seeks no blame
It is only love
So don't talk to me of love

Don't talk to me of peace
When the war is in your head
Peace seeks no conflict
It needs no treaties
It is simply peace
So don't talk to me of peace

Don't talk to me of god
When you haven't tasted bliss
God is only love
God is only peace
God is only god
So don't talk to me of god

Don't talk to me of guilt
When you can't say you're sorry
Ask for forgiveness
Forgive yourself
It will set you both free
So don't talk to me of guilt
Don't talk to me of god
Don't talk to me of peace
Don't talk to me of love

Don't talk to me of freedom
With your mind trapped in a cage
Freedom can't be caged
It can't be granted
It's a state of mind
So Don't talk to me of freedom

Don't talk to me of music
When you can't feel the sound
Music must be felt
It must be lived
It is all there is
So don't talk to me of music
Don't talk to me of freedom
Don't talk to me of god
Don't talk to me of peace
Don't talk to me of love
Don't talk to me at all
Just shut up and listen
Just listen
Listen
