Don't Know When But a Day Is Gonna Come

Was it true what I heard about the Son of God?
 Did he come to save, did he come at all?
 And if I dried his feet with my dirty hair
 Would he make me clean again?
 They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come
 When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
 It will just go black, it will just go back
 To the way it was before
 I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride
 And every man wanted her, yeah and so did I
 Yeah, and so did I, but she up and died
 In a fit of vanity
 Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns
 And they'll kill a man for what his father has done
 But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit
 I'm not him
 But it's hard to ignore of news reports
 They say we must defend ourselves, fight on foreign soil
 Against the infidels with some oil wells
 God saves gas prices
 And you think I need some discipline, well, I've had my share
 Now I've been sent to my room, I've been sat in a chair
 And I held my tongue, I didn't plug my ears
 No, I got a good talking to
 Now I don't know why, but I still try to smile
 When they talk at me like I'm just a child
 Well, I'm not a child
 No, I am much younger than that
 But now I've read some books, and I've grown quite brave
 If I could just speak up, I think I would say
 That there is no truth, there is only you
 And what you make the truth
 So I'll just sing my songs, and I'll pass a hat
 And then I'll leave your town, and I'll never look back
 No, I don't look back because the road is clear
 And laid out ahead of me
 Now I'll get home, I'll meet my friends at our favorite bar
 We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts
 And we'll share a drink, yeah, we'll share our fears
 And they'll know how I love them
 They will know how I love
 They will know how I love them
 I'm nothing without their love

 Now I don't know when, but a day is gonna come
 When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
 It will all go black, it will all go back
 To the way it's supposed to be
 Is it true what they say about the Son of God?
 Did he die for us, did he die at all?
 And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold to you
 Which one of us would be the foolish one?
 Which one of us would be the fool?
 Which one of us would be the foolish one?
 Which one of us would be the fool?
