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
