1
The world is sick and all of us in it
2
So fight the cancer
3
Fight the cancer
4
Don't bow your head to it
5
The world is sick but it won't die from it
6
So fight the cancer
7
Fight the cancer
8
Don't bow your head to it
9
I'm afraid that i am me
10
And i had no say in this
11
I dare to be self-aware when ignorance is bliss
12
I never do the things i want
13
I do what i don't want to
14
I'm fortified for treachery and hopelessly untrue
15
Remember when we were all small?
16
With stained-glass windows stretched up the walls
17
We listened to words we could not understand
18
As they echoed through the church halls
19
They stacked us up conveniently
20
And fed us from their tables
21
They deduced what we should know
22
Because we weren't able
23
And as we grow we feel we know
24
The truth of where we've been
25
Satiated by their oaths
26
Dragged on the heels of holy men
27
Lately i have found frustration among the incongruence
28
A movement of peasants and pacifists drowning in patriotic affluence
29
I feel as though i should do something but i'm staggered by the ramifications
30
They've baptized the empire into the church and heralded its sanctification
31
Sometimes i feel as though i'm taking place outside of myself
32
But i'm afraid that i am me
33
I am me
34
I'm me
35
I'm me
36
"blessed are the meek" succumbs to "might makes right"
37
"turn the other cheek" succumbs to pre-emptive strike
38
"love your enemies" is fossilized beneath the frozen tundra
39
And "blessed are the poor in spirit" is devoured by "god bless america"
40
You file the children into the classrooms, make them stand and say an oath
41
And when we ask "should i love god or my country?"
42
You smile and tell us "both."
43
We've hidden the god we claim we serve and driven him beneath the floorboards
44
But i can still hear this still, small voice
45
And i can't take it anymore
