[VERSE 1]
Strange people in a stranger place.
Under a steeple trying to save their face.
Well you better save your breath for the chase.
They all want what you have to give.
You sell them lies so that you can live.
Proclaiming to be by the book,
Don't deny you're just another crook.
[CHORUS]
Thoughts & prayers thrown at the poor
But denied an open door.
Closed minds become numb.
a Beating heart has no place in a slum.
[VERSE 2]
Hopeless people in hopeless place
Under a bridge trying to keep a dry face
Hunting grounds to sell them your false faith.
You tell them someone's really out there
Who cares about their well being.
You've no faith in the book you preach,
You are just another thief.
