Lyrics

Feeding the five thousand was not done with prayers alone, and
It takes blood and guts and it takes devotion, and
So tired of standing up and so tired of drawing breath
And it's your turn to take the map and it's your turn to drop the soap, and

We got pretty, pretty boys sucking on a cola
Money to burn, money to burn, (money to burn)
We got rules to protect you
Isaac and Ishmael
The magazine says it's okay
Life as a billboard, and

If you are the answer
We are going straight to hell

(Grown in a parental fugue)
(Weight loss in self respect)
(Bomb, bomb, bomb us back together)
(A new way into a lost answer)

You can talk a little less, and
You can talk a little less, and
You can talk a little less, and
You can talk a little less!

Feeding the five thousand was not done with prayers alone, and
It takes blood and guts and it takes devotion, and
So tired of standing up and so tired of drawing breath
And it's your turn to take the map and it's your turn to drop the soap, and

(Grown in a parental fugue)
(Weight loss in self respect)
(Bomb, bomb, bomb us back together)
(A new way into a lost answer)
