You sit there in your heartache  
Waiting on some beautiful boy to  
To save you from your old ways  
You play forgiveness  
Watch him now, here he comes

</div>

I’m learning to live without you now  
But I miss you sometimes  
The more I know, the less I understand  
All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning again  
I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the Heart of the Matter  
But my will gets weak  
And my thoughts seem to scatter  
But I think it’s about forgiveness  
Forgiveness  
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore

</div>

Seems there’s plans for everyone  
The day will come and we will know  
We all are tied in with each other  
Everyone brothers  
One great flow

Thinking about things I don’t understand  
Thinking about things I don’t understand

Go ahead and hate your neighbor  
Go ahead and cheat a friend  
Do it in the name of heaven  
You can justify it in the end

But there won’t be any trumpets blowing  
Come the judgment day  
On the bloody morning after  
One tin soldier rides away

Day of Judgement, God is calling  
On their knees the war pigs crawling  
Begging mercy for their sins  
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings  
Oh, Lord yeah!

You’re one of the special and you don’t have to pay  
Your dividends are coming on the Judgement Day  
Hey some people got a lot to answer for

</div>

Why do we never get an answer  
When we’re knocking at the door?  
With a thousand million questions  
About hate and death and war?  
'Cause when we stop and look around us  
There is nothing that we need  
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed

Mama, take this badge off of me  
I can’t use it anymore.  
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark to see  
I feel I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.

Relax don’t do it

</div>

I think I’ll dry these useless tears  
And get myself together  
I think I’ll wonder down the hall  
And have a look around  
'Cause I can’t stay inside  
This lonely room and cry forever  
I think I really rather join 'em  
Two door down, yeah

Two doors down  
They’re laughing and drinkin’, and having a party  
Two doors down  
They’re not aware that I’m around

I took a walk around the world  
To ease my troubled mind  
I left my body lying somewhere  
In the sands of time  
But I watched the world float  
To the dark side of the moon

And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear  
You shout and no one seems to hear  
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes  
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

</div>

I watched the world from the side of the moon  
Looking at the stars, looking back to you  
Just to see if you were still alive  
Looking at the sun with the fire in your eyes

It’s hard to know where I stand  
Then the man on the moon couldn’t tell me where to land  
But I, I wanted to fly in the sea with no gravity to pull me down

</div>

When are you gonna come down?  
When are you going to land?  
I should have stayed on the farm  
I should have listened to my old man  
You know you can’t hold me forever  
I didn’t sign up with you  
I’m not a present for your friends to open  
This boy’s too young to be singing the blues

Fight on boys, fight, with all your might  
Roll up the scores for TCU  
Hail white and purple flag whose heroes never lag,  
Horned Frog, we are all for you!

What tho’ the odds be great or be small,  
Trans Poly U will rule over all,  
This entire world will fall, and  
Worship Trans Poly U.

2, 4, 6, 8,  
You can’t beat what we create!  
It’s all right, it’s all good,  
Those blind fools never understood.  
That’s okay, they won’t score,  
That’s what this new Death Ray’s for.  
Punch 'em inna head, kick 'em inna ditch,  
Forget the Hail Mary – throw the switch!  
Yayyy!

We’ve been traveling on this wayward road  
Long time 'til I be take a 'eavy load  
But we ride, ride it like a bullet

We won’t worry everything will come real  
Free like the bird in the tree  
We won’t worry everything will come real  
Yes we free like the bird in the tree  
We running from the penitentiary  
This is the time for we liberty  
Hail Mary, Hail Mary

Mother Mary in control  
Domineering stranglehold  
Sowing destructive seeds  
For the scavengers to feed  
Driving the nail into my head  
Memory flows like a river
