i followed it half way around the world
it's obnoxious and absurd
i dedicate myself too late
to all the people who have heard
the sound of the living gospel
the promise of the living word
that a fool like me can refuse to believe
and to get what i deserve
the hardest lesson that you learn
it's the flicker not the burn
it's easy living life on the outside
to never have to wait for your turn
but even a fool like me can refuse to believe
and still get what i deserve
