Story Behind The Song
The song was inspired by the anti war movement. It sounds like it focuses on the US government and GW Bush and it does to a certain extent, but it also hopes to leave the listener with a sense that anyone using religion and double speak in politics can't
Song Description
The song talks about the deception and power plays not only of western politicians but any politicians who use religion to justify war and using violence to obtain power control.

Lyrics
How Can WeTrust
Ben Goerner Tom Cadham, Al Murray, Dave Mitchell
Copyright 2005
There?s a hurricane in my world tonight
Get on the war machine convince me its right.
Your lies are ice, slicing through my head
You?d have my resolve, you?d have me dead
You use the good book to justify
To hide the truth, to plan your lie
I just can?t understand the religion behind the man
Chorus
How can we trust
How can we trust
How can we sympathize with your seductive lies
How can we trust?
Actions speak louder than words
you talk about this and then you do that, you preach the absurd
Now sinners must bear their cross
Can you hear the bells toll, you?ve sold your soul, can you bear the loss
You use the good book to justify
To hide the truth, to plan your lie
I just can?t understand the religion behind the man
I wont be your victim
Nor will I commit the crime
You make your violent decisions
and we're the ones who gotta do the time
