Oh God, I've done it again
You stare me in the eyes
And I look away
You come around my house
And I'm not home
And If I had a dollar
For every time I sinned against You
Well I'd be a rich man
Why are You still here
When I told You to leave?
Why do the oceans
Never get past my knees?
You lift me out of the water
Every time I loose away from You
You made me a rich man
And If I had a dollar
For every time I sinned against You
Well I'd be a rich man
You lift me out of the water
Every time I loose away from You

I’m workin’ all night, workin’ all day,
My job is hard and I can’t slip away,
You think it’s over, you think we’re through,
It’s not like that, it just isn’t true.
Suzy let us go to the beach,
Where we can stay out of reach,
Just enjoying the sunshine,
Not to make you misunderstand,
I want to hold your hand,
Suzy I won’t let you down,
I will always be around,
Please believe it’s true, I’m still in love with you.
I need you all night, need you all day,
My life is working many miles away,
A chance to reach you is on the phone,
I hear your voice and i feel so alone.
Suzy let us go to the beach,
Where we can stay out of reach,
Just enjoying the sunshine,
Not to make you misunderstand,
I want to hold your hand,
Suzy I won’t let you down,
I will always be around,
Please believe it’s true, I’m still in love with you.
Suzy I won’t let you down,
I will always be around,
Please believe it’s true, I’m still in love with you.

Where was God when I needed a friend
Where was God when I came to an end
Where was God when I lost my mind
Where was God when I could not find
Don't want to be up or down
Don't want to be up or down
Don't want to be up or down
I Don't want to be up or down
Where was love when I felt like hate
Where was hate when I felt like love
Where were you when you said you'd be there
Where was the fear when I said I was scared
I Don't want to be up or down
Don't want to be up or down
I Don't want to be up or down
I Don't want to be up or down
WHY?
Tell me what you believe
I'll tell you what you should see
I don't know who to trust
My heart is filled with disgust
I CAN'T TAKE THIS NOW!
Tell me what you believe
I'll tell you what you should see
I don't know who to trust
My heart is filled with disgust
Tell me what you believe
Tell me what you BELIEVE
Ladies and Gentlemen!
May I have your attention?
Are you ready for the joke?
Are you ready for the great deception? GOD!
Tell me what you believe (God!)
Tell me what you believe (God!)
Tell me what you believe
Tell me what you believe
Tell me what you believe
Tell me what you believe

Leaving you on the note that
Knowledge is to know the ledge
Before you fall over the edge
Into the devils so called civilization
Or into despair of ignorance
The difference between that ledge and that edge
Is that that ledge is the tip of the edge
And that edge is the border between life and death
That's all we have left
Shoot skills out your brains before you have breaths
Dom Dom competitor
Be the reverend and also the editor
Etcetera, come better to heat your black ass up like a sweater
To shoot you to the mystical magical man in motion – God!
Blends into my skin like lotion
Do this thing all day on the daily swing styles like Barnum and Bailey
Dom Dom drops the bomb bomb keeping it calm calm

[Spoken]
The world belongs to you as much as to the next fella.
Don't give it up, an' try not to be scared of people not
liking you, just try likin' them. Just keep your faith an'
courage an' you'll come out right. It's-It's like what
we used to sing ev'ry mornin' when I went to school, maybe
it's still the same, I don't know...
