Do you want lies, do you want truth
And the words well up and you start to explode

Don't you want love?
Do you want war, do you want peace
Do you want war, do you want peace
Or would you rather put bread in a skeleton's mouth
Or do you want love, love, love?
And you'd like to be strong but you'd rather be weak
Don't you want l-l-love?
Oh, God is love, oh, God is love

Help us open our eyes to Your glorious face
Or do you want love, love, love?

Oh, God is love, God is love
Oh, God is love, love, love
Or do you want l-l-love?
Or just turn on the TV until you completely tune out?

In the last defense, when the curtain is drawn
Do you want war, do you want peace
And you're watching the circles float out of your mouth as you speak
Do you want lies, do you want truth
Or do you want l-l-love?
Or do you want love, love, love?
And speak words of sweet Jesus that will bring eternal grace
Oh, God is l-l-love
What are we doing, are we wasting our time?
Or do you want love, love, love?
Do you want lies, do you want truth
'Cause you've really got to know
And do you feast as the table of religious despair
Tell me, are we blind?

Oh, God is l-l-love
And a river of blood brings salvation to all
So tell me what's your label that you're so proud to wear
