Shallow Words Lyrics
Don't scoff, I can hear it from a mile off
Open trespass in the places we call sacred
Oh, the chains have come undone
Now the firing range is open
And the critics have their fun
One man speaks for many in a deadpan
Even though, even though he's self-elected
Yet the public takes it in
Like they're hearing mission statements
On my new view of faith and sin
A call to all:
You know you're hearing shallow words fall out their mouths
A call to all:
To know the difference between truth and a good show, yeah
Now you're blaming God for all the tenure
Hearing catcalls from the preacher to the faithful
Whom they look to for a sign
Oh, the problem isn't holy
Oh, the problem is mankind
A nicer suit won't make you any better than you'd like
A call to all:
To know you're hearing shallow words fall out your mouths, yeah
Open trespass in the places we call sacred
Oh, the chains have come undone
Now the firing range is open
And the critics have their fun
Even though, even though he's self-elected
Yet the public takes it in
Like they're hearing mission statements
On my new view of faith and sin
You know you're hearing shallow words fall out their mouths
A call to all:
To know the difference between truth and a good show, yeah
Hearing catcalls from the preacher to the faithful
Whom they look to for a sign
Oh, the problem isn't holy
Oh, the problem is mankind
A call to all:
To know you're hearing shallow words fall out your mouths, yeah
