Noah Sattler - Preaching For Lyrics

Grandpa smoked his last cigarette the day before he died
I guess that makes the times he said to quit words to live by
But if his sight was always so clear
He should've looked in the mirror
Quick to speak and slow to hear
He'd say all that being free did was feed my greed for more
Their speeches on TV hid the bottles they were reaching for
Now all those big degree kids are speechless since the war
So maybe don't go teaching until you practice what you're preaching for
Amy said to never call it love unless it was for life
But when his pushes came to shoves, that's words to die by
She said I don't want to love and leave
But I'm no servant to a creed
And the world said she was freed
But all that being free did
Was feed her greed for more
Her speeches on TV hid the bottle she was reaching for
Now all those big degree kids are speechless since the war
So maybe don't go teaching until you practice what you're preaching for
Last night I looked up at my youth, he saw a hypocrite below
But where's the harm in half the truth, no one has to know
The spirit's willing, flesh is weak
And who lives what they believe
So if a lie can set me free
All those big degree kids are speechless since the war
So maybe I'm done teaching until I practice what I'm preaching for
