Tear This Cabin Down

you know people might just say anything
 to try and save their skin
 and the bible says we must stand alone
 'cause we're damn sure gonna sin
 and there's stories to help us walk that line
 commandments to get our crowns
 but if the truth was knowed about us all
 we'd have to tear that cabin down
 tear this cabin down
 and start all over again
 tear this cabin down
 only god knows where we've been
 tear this cabin down
 there's a hell for us all
 tear this cabin down
 well cain rose up to slay abel
 so they ran him out of town
 and deep down in our souls and hearts
 old cain is still around
 and he likes to tell us secrets
 he likes to whisper in our ears
 that if the people knowed
 all the meanness we've done
 they'd throw us outta here
 they'll tear this cabin down
 and start all over again
 tear this cabin down
 only god knows where we've been
 tear this cabin down
 there's a hell somewhere for us all
 tear this cabin down
 so if you want to get into heaven
 you better get down on your knees
 and try to be a better man
 than the one you used to be
 and don't go meddlin' with somebody else
 it's hard telling what you'll find
 and if the truth was knowed about us all
 we'd have to stay here for all time
 tear this cabin down
 oh lord let me be the best that i can be
 tear this cabin down
 oh lord, let the truth be what i see
 tear this cabin down
 yeah lord, there must be a heaven for us all
 tear this cabin down
 tear this cabin down
 tear this cabin down
 oh lord let me be the best that i can be
 tear this cabin down
 oh lord, let the truth be what i see
 tear this cabin down
 yeah lord, there must be a heaven for us all
 tear this cabin down
 tear this cabin down
