Desert messiah ain't nothing new - we all know his kind
Another self-appointed prophet with world domination
On his puny mind
Whispered scenes behind closed doors
How does one make the people think
His greed's worth dying for?
Hey, let's start a holy war!!!
Chorus:
Do you believe in religion?
I believe it's your decision
Do you think it makes a difference?
Is it just some man-made vision?
Do you believe in religion?
I believe it's your decision
Do you think it makes a difference?
Do you really care any way?
Midnight preacher calls me a sinner
And maybe he's right
He said he's just used the hot line
And God's got a message for me
He says
He condemns my situation if I wanna find salvation
It's time to phone in my donation as a vow of faith
He tells me that the church has got an image to protect
And god wants me to give - give till it hurts
Stayed me hand - it's just as well
They caught him using God's tax-free cash
To feed the kitty in some cheap motel
And now he's going to hell
Chorus
(Solo)
ChorusDear one, I had enough
Killjoy hold up in above
I been sick and tired playing out my day in a dream
Hurry up, hurry up it's late
I'm dying in the shadow
I'm just a little baby boy in your arms
So you, you know who you are
Thought I saw you in the rearview mirror looking down
Took the dive Friday night
Had a pretty good alibi
Gasoline it hit the deed, not taking it for granted
Hurry up, hurry up it's late
I'm tongue-tied and getting something
Chorus:
Babe, Scared of you, Scared of you
Babe, Scared of you, Scared of you
Headed down to Kingsfield
With the key in my hand
Took a swim down at Hidden Beach
You and me in the sand
Hurry up, hurry up it's late
I'm dying in the shadow
I'm just a little baby boy
But now I'm getting something
(Chorus)
Dear one, I've had enough
Raise the flag, I'm giving up
I'm just sick and tired living out my day in a dream
I want to be the first to say it
Black or white but never gray
I don't feel like me today
I'm dying in the shadow
Hurry up, hurry up it's late
But now I'm getting somewhere
Babe, Scared of you, Scared of you
Babe, Scared of you, Scared of you, Scared of you
Scared of you, Scared of you, Scared of you
Scared of you, Scared of you, Scared of you
