Fear is the greatest governor of man
Long before this elaborate plan
Of learning all you know from the TV land
It could freeze a whole people
Strike me down if it still can't
But do they know what they want?
Could they heed what they need?
Would they pull the knife out
Or continue to bleed?
Even if entire doctrines are grossly outdated
Even if their whole soul was completely fabricated
Back in the day when the book was still new
Who was the choice to interpret it to you?
A bilingual - the only man in town
Scrapping for loose change until this lit came around
Questions of soul
Who is this man all these people know
Love unconditional
Staying away from what lurks below
Father Joe You got a second?
I need a minute For repenting
You see my wife
Well she was cheating
So I hit her
Am I finished?
I wish I could get back to
The place you found me before
This whole damn ordeal happened
And I And I And I
And I hope that repercussions evade my soul
And the truth is I don't even know
If what I'm asking holds any relevance
After all I'm talking to my folded hands
(Refrain)
Karma is a bitch I learned that quite quick
But see the mystery remains to me
The authority of higher beings over trivial mishaps
That one goes down in the book I guess
And all my moves made redundant
I'm no longer my own man
Losing control over my own self Because of his elaborate plan
Oops by the way I forgot to say
The only way killing is OK
Is if the person that you kill
Doesn't quite fit the bill
Of your opinionated professed spiritual ideals
Oh please
Just stop
With that nonsense less is more
With with with with With what the world has had to go through thus far
It's time to stop this exhibition for your lord
Believe what you want only do it peacefully
Keep it to yourself and we'll all be able to live in peace
