You say the world is a dreamlike journey
in desert we are travellers stranded
with a big bang the death will seize our life
we will depart naked, empty handed

You say leave every trouble and tension
God is simply testing us, let us pray
endure with silence but never complain
God will judge everyone on the doom’s day

You say the world is a dreamlike journey
scriptures are the vision and art of seeing
you frighten people with fear of hell fire
who well deserve to live like human beings!

How nice! You live in air-conditioned rooms
with indulgence in lust and obscene kiss
what a lavish and luxurious your life!
you teach us poverty is divine bliss

You say the world is a dreamlike journey
renounce everything and have holy bath
Thanks for your wisdom of life after death
you can’t fool us in our commonsense path.
