0:17The laws of God and the laws of man
0:28The laws of man they don't carry
0:30The same weight as the laws of God
0:35Or the laws of nature in the nomenclature
0:53Do we want to inject
0:54The concept of sin into the constitution
0:58Is this really necessary
1:02Does this not make you somewhat wary
1:05Shouldn't sin be left to the laws of God
1:08And to the laws of nature
1:11Can we trust this to the legislature
1:29And shall we trust sin to the wisdom
1:32Of the criminal justice system
1:35Which can't handle the criminals we have now
1:38Why create a whole new class of them
1:53Isn't crime dealt with by the laws of man
1:56Isn't sin dealt with by the laws of God
1:59Isn't crime dealt with by the laws of man
2:02Isn't sin dealt with by the laws of God
2:30Sin were dealt with by the laws of man
2:33Everybody would be in jail for life
2:35In solitary confinement with no one to go his bail
2:39Or else would have gotten death maybe I should save my breath
2:43But this lunacy is bound to fail
3:12But there would be no one to get the food
3:15Or run the machines mercy on us dude
3:18You shine your darkness on me
3:21I am blinded by the darkness
3:24You shine your darkness on me
3:27I am blinded by the darkness
3:30You shine your darkness on me
3:33I am blinded by the darkness
3:36You shine your darkness on me
3:39I am blinded by the darkness
4:00You shine your darkness on me
4:02I am blinded by the darkness
4:05You shine your darkness on me
4:08I am blinded by the darkness
4:23In seven days God created evolution
4:26When shall I expect retribution
4:29From the counter revolution
4:35You shine your darkness on me
4:38I am blinded by the darkness
4:41You shine your darkness on me
4:43I am blinded by the darkness
4:46You shine your darkness on me
4:49I am blinded by the darkness
