LYRIC FOR SALE

By Jack McFarlin

I have some thoughts on your apology
I'm surprised after all this time
You said you didn't do right by me
it sound genuine enough
But I don't know how much I trust your intentions
after all I was a student to your lessons

Chorus
The only right way to be is Christian
Do as we say don't mind what we do
When we're cruel to the hopeless
when we grandstand without regard
to the minorities, how abhorently
we take all their cards
say they deserve their empty hands
let it be a lesson
those with unfettered power do not have good intentions

I'm only good when I'm your religion
when I don't ask any questions
When I cut out parts of me you'd rather not mention
cruelties the point of this game
you ignore my pain for some kind of moral profit
add a non-existent persecution complex to the docket

Chorus
The only right way to be is Christian
Do as we say don't mind what we do
When we're cruel to the hopeless
when we grandstand without regard
to the minorities, how abhorently
we take all their cards
say they deserve their empty hands
let it be a lesson
those with unfettered power do not have good intentions

I've given it a lot of time to consider
whether the part you play in my life
will get any bigger
but I can't stand the hypocrisy
so I'll treat you like you trat everyone
that doesn't fall under the shade of the same tree
