I think I can trim it down a bit and get it much more concise...

Obey, Obey, Obey...

When you are want help your fellow human,
Obey.
When they tell you to turn around,
Obey.
Be like them,
Obey.
Follow their orders,
Obey.
On the other side of the lines,
people die.
And you sit there,
hopeless,
anxious,
sick.
Because you did the right thing,
you obeyed.
They beat it into your head for so long,
Obey.
And by the time you've realised what's happened,
they've managed to place the robots in line,
to continue to Obey.

There is only one way to bring justice,
Rebel.
When the dark lords above you tell you to ignore the pleas
of those who suffer around you,
Rebel.
When order want to impose itself on love,
love can only rebel.
Love can only lift one up and give life.
But you cannot give life,
if you continue to obey.
You cannot share the love for your fellow children of earth.
You must obey,
You must not see.
Ignore their cries,
Ignore their pleas.

Dear God by XTC

---
Dear God,
hope you got the letter, and...
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image, see
them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get
enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you

Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard
loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting
in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make
mankind after we made you? And the devil too...

Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on
a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you
should take a look, and all the people that you made in your
image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and
so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in

I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no
devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always
letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you
drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the
whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that
Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,
and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon
my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in

it's you... Dear God.
