[ Featuring the Playhouse Noise ]
Once I was a lonely boy worked hard every day
Never got me anywhere just pissed my time away
Waited for a better life that never came along
Finally had enough and said it's time for moving on
Things got bad and things got worse
But soon we worked it out
And now we can't remember what the fuss was all about
Now and then I think about how many ways I've tried
That's when I put on my boots and kick my cross aside.
Jesus was the oldest boy in his family
Picked up with his brother James and left from Galilee
A black man murdered by the state to make him go away
"Why have You forsaken me?" was all that he could say.
Things got bad and Things Got Worse
But soon we worked it out
And now we can't remember what the fuss was all about
Now and then I think about how many ways I've tried
That's when I put on my boots and kick my cross aside.
I don't know how many times it takes to get it right
But every day I move a little closer to the light
Now and then I think about how many ways I've tried
That's when I put on my boots and kick my cross aside.
I know I'm a sinner and
I say that without pride
That's why I put on these boots
And kick my cross aside.
Now and then I think about
How many ways I love tried
That's when I put on my boots
And kick my cross aside.
