[Verse 1]
We're all alone in paradise
Constructing our temple in the night
And we're all alone in paradise
And trusting that there's no reason why

[Chorus]
The wool is pulled over our eyes
To give us hope
The wool is pulled over our eyes
To give us hope
The wool is pulled over our eyes
To give us hope

But we don't
Have religion
Any more

[Verse 2]
Haunted by thoughts of life gone by
Convinced that tomorrow will bring more light
And we don't need more than what we are
'Cause we live and die under the same star

[Coda]
The wool is pulled over our eyes
To give us hope
The wool is pulled over our eyes
To give us hope
The wool is pulled over our eyes
To give us hope
But we don't
Have religion
Any more

And god is just a word
To give us hope
And god is just a word
To give us hope
And god is just a word
To give us hope

But we don't
Need religion
Any more
