| Lyrics: |
| I'm robbin' Peter and payin' Paul I'm changing my name back to Saul. I got to them, you know I'll get to you. I'm turning shepards into sheep, Leaders into celebrities It's holy sabotage, just look around you. Everything's for sale in the 21st century Check is in the mail from the 21st century Don't want the song don't want a jingle I love you Lord but don't hear a single And the truth is nearly impossible to rhyme. I know the songs with all the hooks I know some lines that'll sell some books. So grab 'em fast cuz we're running out of time. Just keep sellin' truth in candy bars On billboards and backs of cards Truth without context, my favorite of all my crimes Everything's for sale in the 21st century Check is in the mail from the 21st century What works vs. what's right What the difference tonight? Hey alright. Hey alright. Take out the sign and forget the meal We got a gym and a ferris wheel You'll swear it's just like the country club down the block Cuz you can make your life look good. You can do what Jesus would, But you'd be surprised what you can do with a hard heart Everything's for sale in the 21st century Check is in the mail from the 21st century I think you got trouble with the 21st century So welcome to the struggle it's the 21st century I never thought I'd make it to the 21st century. Lord I love the 21st century Lord I love the 21st century I write these words from the grave Cuz it's the only place that I'm safe Only the dead are permitted to speak the truth... |
