It’s getting hotter and hotter, but I can’t come to the water
Cause when I reach for the ladder, it disappears in a matter of seconds.
I hear the chatter around the world, and it gathers a storm,
We think it don’t matter, but then we hold for too long.
We’re breakin’ and buyin’ another innocent giant,
And when we think of defying, we’re thrown to the lions.
When we’re called to the fire, we gotta step to the wire,
And so we close another eye until we write a new song.
Now let us fall on our knees and wash our sins away.
Here, against the wall, we will please the sweet, blind trinity.
I’ve got a neighbor that hates me, a president baits me,
A god who won’t take me cause I’m loving and lazy,
A world that can’t face me cause my government’s crazy,
And I’m tired of bracing for the end of it all.
I want a way in the fable, want your cards on the table,
Want a way to disable all the shit that you ladle.
I can’t suffer this label, but I’m bound to your cable
From the grave to the cradle and I’m brushing you off.
Now let us fall on our knees and wash our sins away.
Here, against the wall, we will please the sweet, blind trinity.
I’ve got a terminal itch, I’m going to scratch it and bitch.
I’m sorry I couldn’t fish you from this prodigal mission,
But I’m just not sufficient to undo this tradition.
If I had just one wish, I would cut off the right hand.
Maybe one day we will give back what we’ve taken.
When we do, we will scrape and peel our feet from your table.
And I hold in my hand a bitter pill that I can abide
So I can stay on inside this beautiful land.
Now let us fall on our knees and wash our sins away.
Here, against the wall, we will please the sweet, blind trinity.
