the preacher in the plaza

|decarmine|
you say so much but you don't say a thing, spouting all the rhetoric about the gifts your god brings and all the actions that you just can't condone, you can't figure out people have minds of their own i can't see it i can't feel it i can't hear a sound. as i'm walking you're still talking but no one is around. and it seems so easy to speak someone else's mind but your light can't blind me -- i've got plans to change the world

hand me your bible and say "read this book, please" now tell me it's the only way your god can be appeased. your pointless words are ones i'm never going to read because i can't conceive of spending my life on my knees hand me a dollar and i'll buy salvation from you (that's what you're selling after all) you wish you could say i'm all alone but i know you're wrong
