Why I Don't Believe In God |
| I heard the truth about you |
| And it doesn’t really read at all |
| Like the whipping stick you raised me with |
| A scared woman in a private hell |
| Hushed voice like electric bells |
| Strange talk about Edgar Cayce |
| And the long lame walk of the dark seventies |
| Strange talk about Edgar Cayce |
| And the long lame walk of the dark seventies |
| I heard the truth about you, yeah you |
| Mama, they woke me up |
| I was deep in an idiot sleep |
| I was just eight years old |
| Heard big words with horrible sound |
| Why’d they have to call my school |
| Tell me my mother had a nervous breakdown |
| I wish I believed like you do, yeah you |
| In the myth of a merciful God |
| In the myth of a heaven and hell |
| I hear the voices you hear sometimes |
| Sometimes it gets so much |
| I feel like letting go |
| Sometimes it gets so hard |
| I feel like letting it go |
| Sometimes it gets so goddamn hard I feel like letting it all go |
| Letting it all go |
| Letting it all go |
| Letting it all go |
| Letting it all go |
| Yeah, letting it all go |
| I ran away and went looking for you |
| Back to Culver City and the old neighborhood |
| Needed to know if you were really gone |
| Needed to know if you were gone for good |
| I ran through the projects at night |
| Hide in the dark from my friends in the light |
| Hide from my brother-in-law |
| Hide from the things he’d say |
| Said you weren’t losing your mind |
| Yeah, said you just needed a rest |
| He said you would be coming home soon |
| He said the doctors there would know what’s best |
| Said that maybe I could go live with them for a while |
| I know the truth about you |
| I know the truth about you |
| I know the truth about you |
| I know the truth |
| I know the truth |
| I know the truth |
| I know the truth |
| I know the truth about you |
| Mama, they woke me up |
| I was just eight years old |
| Sometimes it gets so hard |
| I feel like letting it go |
| Sometimes it gets so hard |
| I feel like letting it all go |
| Yeah, letting it all go |
| Letting it all go |
| Ooh, letting it all go |
| Yeah letting it all go |
