Well is it true what I heard about the son of god

Did he come to save did he come at all

And if I dried his feet with my dirty hair

Would he make me clean again



They say the dont know when but a days gonna come

When there wont be a moon and there wont be a sun

It will just go black it will just go back

To the way it was before



I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride

And every man wanted her yeah and so did I

Yeah and so did I but she up and died

In a fit of vanity



Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns

And they will kill a man for what his fathers done

But what my father did you know it dont mean shit

Im not him



And you think I need some discipline well Ive had my share

No Ive been sent to my room Ive been sat in a chair

And I held my tongue I didnt plug my ears

No I got a good talkin to



Now I dont know why but I still try to smile

When they talk at me like Im just a child

Well Im not a child

No I am much younger than that



But now Ive read some books and Ive grown quite brave

If I could just speak up I think I would say

That there is no truth there is only you

And what you make the truth



So Ill just sing my songs and Ill pass a hat (?)

And then Ill leave your town and Ill never look back

No I dont look back because the road is clear

And laid out ahead of me



Now Ill get home Ill meet my friends at a favorite bar

Well get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts

And well share a drink yeah well share out fears

And theyll know how I love them Im nothing without their love



Now I dont know when but a days gonna come

When there wont be a moon and there wont be a sun

It will all go black it will all go back
