You've filled this house with things of gold

While handing crumbs to the old and poor

And then you preach about being pure

And wonder why we're laughing In your old way you're trying to find us

But we can't follow what's behind us

Too much blind faith, it will blind us

Though sometimes it's a blessing But I remember when I still embraced you

A little prayer would ease my mind

Till I saw that you hide

From the misery outside

So I left you behind But all the other teachings

That I've tried were about the same

One grain of truth mixed

With confusion caused by man

Since you're around here anyway May as well get you back on your feet again

Get right back up on your feet

Don't you know we need somebody to

Do some work down in the street You might just touch somebody

Start to think about today

Throw your robe and staff away

And break away from yesterday Ah, tell me can we reach you

I don't know

Still we got to go

From here to there eventually While others die up against the wall

You take the time to tell us all

'Bout how we're not supposed to ball

You really are a riot It's got nothin' to do with Heaven or Hell

What I do in bed, I'm not gonna tell

What I'm talking about, you know *** well

You really ought to try it But I remember when I still embraced you

A little prayer would ease my mind

Till I saw that you hide

From the misery outside

So I left you behind But all the other teachings

That I've tried were about the same

One grain of truth mixed

With confusion caused by man

But since you're around here anyway May as well get you back on your feet again

Get right back up on your feet

Don't you know we need somebody to

Do some work down in the street You might just touch somebody

Start to think about today

Throw your robe and staff away

And break away from yesterday Ah, tell me can we reach you

I don't know

Still we got to go

From here to there eventually Who, who, Jesus will save?

It's time we wait for

His [incomprehensible] you see

Who Jesus will save? He's coming back

And you better believe

He's coming back

Don't you believe me? Yeah
