Faith, Hope, Etc.

Instrumental
 If I had the answers I would give them to you
 Free of charge, you are my friend.
 And I would pay to see you dance
 in on the grave of your troubles
 and your doubts and your means to an end.
 And if I found a path to some promised land
 I would pick you up after work.
 And we would pack our things
 and drink cold drinks
 on the fast track to righteous rebirth.
 Ah, but, faith is an expectation
 that somehow the service will justify the fee
 and I've seen enough reciepts to think that faith is not for me.
 And she broke your heart and she took your time and all your Nintendo games.
 And you hope beyond hope that she will soon be consumed by regret for the mess that she's made.
 'Cause you loved her wholly, truly, deeply, for all her body and soul.
 and that the weapon she used,
 you had helped her choose,
 it cut the last thread to which you could hold.
 And you say love is a driveby shooting
 whos wiser survivers are slapping their knees.
 and hope is just some place I look
 when I can't find my keys.

 If I had the answers I would give them to you

 And I would pay to see you dance
 in on the grave of your troubles
 and your doubts and your means to an end.
