so you're a self proclaimed messiah
or maybe a blasphemes liar a clever hypnotic hoax a hallowed heretic coax who tells these stories so old no, never the same twice told speaking in distorted thruths i see that thomas wants some proof did you come to heal the sick with one more magician's trick ye generation seeks a sign while blind keeps leading the blind so you say there is no god just a clever man's charade a once upon a fairy tales fraud has god made man or man made god there is no god confused thy talk in parables accused thou walk in parallels a simple game of simon says this month's flavor sciences today's fact, tomorrow's fiction leave the rest to superstition if knowledge comes from learning books wisdom comes from discerning looks a fool that says there is no god don't feel for that sorry sod who needs proof then he'll believe i wonder if he's been deceived there is no god |

today don't look so bad compared to tomorrow if time is all we have then we're living on borrowed yesterday's for fools who try to remember the good ol' days weren't always that much better cynical fuck well i ain't nothing but a cynical fuck it don't take much to be a cynical, all you need is love all you need is what to be a and whatever you do someone's done it first though it's sad but true this us just another verse if you can't take it with you then what's the use i never saw a u-haul being pulled behind a hearse chorus looks like my brighter side has gotten a bit darker i must have stepped over my four leaf clover 'cause someone drank my half-filled cup of water |

sun going up,
making its rounds it keeps on moving, painting the town before you know it, she's sinking low so tell me something . . . something i don't already know i don't know? toward the south, then turning north whirlwind spinning, on a circular course the answer my friend, returns to blow so tell me something . . . something i don't already know i don't know? tell me something i don't know? as for the wise men who pursue their knowledge same as the fool, free falling prey to folly can only one fate befall them both so tell me something . . . chorus if every song been sung, under the sun what's left for me then, eat drink and have fun it must go on, as for the show so tell me something . . . |

so you want me to take it off
just to see what's underneath my cloth i'll show you i'm every inch a man measure all that you think you can i'm more than what meets the eye flesh 'n' blood is often a white lie by the cover you misjudge the book open your mind and take another look naked, and i'm unashamed naked, with no one to blame naked, ya you want the truth naked, here's my birthday suit naked, naked, naked, naked i pretend to be not anyone except me and my imperfections there is nothing i expect of you that you wouldn't expect of me, too chorus will you excuse me for my ignorance 'cause i can see only one difference those of you who seek to find while all the others choose to walk 'n' talk blind |

as for this song
i'll set the mood there's nothing wrong prefer solitude alone to think of what i don't know the deeper i sink the further i'll go nothing to fear no need to hide i'm already there came in from outside safe in my nest home sweet home no invited guests i want to be alone leave me alone leave me alone i wish you would leave me alone leave me alone i just want to be alone it's better this way no one will get hurt if you stay away i won't lose my shirt if i have become too defensive i'm not the one you have to live with chorus i want to be, i want to be i want to be, alone don't feel sorry it's not your concern only the lonely are the ones who get burned safe in my nest home sweet home no invited guests i want to be alone |

respect,
always everybody looking for some respect, who do you think you're gonna get it from respect, anybody here deserving of none respect, tell me what makes you think you're not the one no respect, no respect none no respect, no respect none no respect, no respect none no respect, no respect none respect, why be concerned with public adulation respect, pat on the back crying for attention respect, finding out what it really means to me respect, honor comes only after humility |

little lamb come out of the rain
you'll catch your death in the cold a helping had to come ease the pain in peace you'll rest in our fold I can be a watch towering light for those of you who can't see I'll separate the truth from the lies blind faithful come follow me evilangelist your name is on my list I'm your evilangelist in what god you trust close your eyes while I hypnotize a friend in need to confess you've been denied the cock crowed thrice surrender all you possess evilangelist your name is on my list I'm your evilangelist I was betrayed by a kiss so many claim to come in thy name promising peace they'll bring lest ye taste the fruit of the vine they're just wolves in sheep's clothing |

so tell me what can i do
that you couldn't see through from the very start there is only one thing yet to come from my heart loving you, unconditionally loving you, unconditionally that's what i want to be what you are to me can you see why it's so hard for me to break apart from all the things i hold closer to a heart that has grown, far too cold loving you, unconditionally something new to a heart yet not free that's what i want to be what you are to me and though it seems impossible when both of my hands are full that's the only condition that keeps me from loving you. . . |

Prentending to act so serene
On your so called submissive knees A shopping list of begging pleas Adds to your complacencies As soon as the sun don't shine your way And you're saving it all up that rainy day It's a matter of time before you get down 'n' pray Fair weather faith - protect me from the storm Fair weather faith - gonna right all my wrongs Fair weather faith - you know i'm doing alright Fair weather faith - out of mind, out of sight Well I wonder if the man upstairs Will bother to lend an ear If you took the time to share Another one of your puppet prayers I ain't talkin' 'bout the weather |
