keep the faith
your daddy’s prayers can’t save you
but you listen when they’re said
and even though you close your eyes
they’re pounding in your head.
the simple faith they tell of
is not what you believe
your actions all speak for you
and there’s something up your sleeve …
you’ve made a deal with darkness
by the hate and lies you spew
and if daddy’s god is listening
he’s had enough of you.
so why not shame the devil
while you try to tell the truth
because we’re all too old now
to hide behind our youth.
lose that fake religion
that you’ve tried to hide behind
while there is still time for you
to make up your own mind.
