My life is empty but full of fear Don't tell me things I don't want to hear Every day I sit and re-read my bible I go to picket lines with my sign and my rifle When I'm hungry, I can't deny it When I'm thirsty, I have to drink What I can't accept, oh I have to change it There really is no choice Is this what life has come to? Menacing scared women like a predator Destroying hope in the name of life Feeding the future, yesterday's lies When I'm hungry, I can't deny it When I'm thirsty, I have to drink What I can't accept, oh I have to change it There really is no choice Do you see what you want to see? When you read the things that you want to read Only hearing what you need Disregarding the rest The world is in a backspin Society in decline It makes your head swim You need someplace firm to stand on There are reasons to deceive There are reasons to believe There are reasons to mislead Oh, there are reasons for everything
