There is nothing out there No magic cure to mend From a surrogate friend Because people will try to mangle Up your beautiful ways To make you more like them If you let them Their remorse may never show So there’s no need to ever know All the things they may have said about you Just let them reap what they sow I think that maybe I’d go crazy Stuck in your privileged shoes And your luxury cell So I’m running Though the pace is stumbling Struck like a match to a fuse I hope things turn out well ‘Cause it’s a hard sell Because I see you in my class, girl I see you nearly every day You should be up on top of all the world But you decorate your skies in gray There is nothing worth cutting Up your mind or body for You’ll get no requiem Because people will try to mangle Up your beautiful ways To make you more like them So don’t you let them

There’s a girl you want To give undying love to But there’s no way, I know You think she’s sweet as candy But she’ll break up your family So there’s no way, I know Take you for a lover? Take you for a fool! Touch her heart of ice You’ll never feel so cool You think she must be candy covered ‘Cause she’s the sweetest thing I’d never take her for a lover Because you’ll break that ring So buy some flowers for another You’ve got to do the right thing To make a songbird sing She’s not the sweetest thing I’ve an eye for many others It’s my right to choose But take a good thing from another Well, that’s the way That’s the way I’ll lose There’s a girl you want to Give undying love to But there’s no way, I know You think she’s cute as a button But she’s a carnal glutton So there’s no way, I know See her after work You see her when you can But when your time is done She’ll go home to her man

I got the message when I was 5 Jesus died so I could be alive Life was boring, but now it’s divine At 6 I’m born again, and He’s my bottom line The seeds that you sow They’re what I know Everything’s fun, and I will play The seeds that you sow They’re what I know I’m useable, abusable I know no other way And I don’t want to die today The Christian Army’s on it’s way And I’m a Christian soldier You’re the prey I heard that someone has to die today Foul agnostics with tempted souls Will spend eternity like burning coals There’s a devil in deep disguise If you squint you’ll see him in enemy eyes The seeds that you sow They’re what I know Everything’s fun, and I will play The seeds that you sow They’re what I know I’m bendable, expendable I’ll work for judgment day Don’t you know we’ve got the biggest little army? Lots of boys To make your preference turn Every one is just an apple in her eye And I need to go Before I cry There’s something in the way And now I want to cry today They took my pastor far away He’s into sex and meth They say that he’s gay But I have faith that he will find His way

Are we ready? Are we set? Are we good? ‘Cause we ain’t found nothing yet They’ve got me working for a crap wage They’ve got me buried on the back page I combed the place, there’s not a trace I’m ready to run Oh, I’m always looking for more Oh, I’m always looking for more Momma told me Be what you are Not everybody is meant to be a star Is it hidden in a safe place? They’ve got me looking for a save face I took the train, to the plane I’m ready to run Oh, I’m always looking for more Oh, I’m always looking for more And I know, yes, I know Nobody ever really wants to see me See, I’ve taken all a good man can take I’ve seen this all before No one ever really wants to see me When I’m knocking on their door Are we ready? Are we set? Are we good? ‘Cause it isn’t curtains yet Are we nervous? Or are we bugged? There’s a mic hidden underneath the rug
