ORIGINAL SIN
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. a donation is made
in your name, in your name.
and a speech has been made
in your name, in your name.
a scholarship fund
is established in your name,
in your name, in your name,
in your name.
II. a Navajo has been removed
in your name, in your name.
and they've gassed another Jew
in your name, in your name.
your money's buying guns
that the army wants to use
in your name, in your name,
in your name.
BRIDGE: now I know the meaning of original sin.
it's not the Garden of Eden.
it's gone to Berlin,
the Kremlin,
Washington,
or the capital of whatever country you're in.
III. they've been reading my mail
in your name, in your name.
putting holy men in jail
in your name, in your name.
the new uniforms
all have name tags marked in Braille
in your name, in your name,
in your name.
/// REPEAT BRIDGE ///
ENDING: in your name,
in your name,
in your name.
