 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

In the hand of God there's a cattle prod 
That keeps shocking us along 
Until we're flung from roofs without parachutes 
Filling patches on His lawn

And there's an iron gate where patrolmen wait 
To keep the chosen people safe
From the infidels in their terror cells
Rifles blessed by God's good grace

And there's a shining path strewn with shattered glass 
And hemmed in with barbed wire
So you can skim your feet but you can't come free 
Oh hallelujah higher and higher

And all those foxhole prayers full of fear you share 
With a bored and and distant son
While you held your will while killing time until 
Answers came for anyone

And you curse their Lord for all He ignored 
In His flawed and vengeful plan 
Cut yourself some slack against a deck so stacked
I mean come on now you're just one man

And maybe after all when your conscience calls
You might prove the missing link
And all that white hot air you sprayed around out there
Might have meant more than you think

So when you breathe, breathe deep
Breathe in greedily like you might never breathe again
Go and tell the truth of all the work you do
It won't be worthless in the end
