Righteous Life |
| I rode on your highways |
| Played cards with some of your gods |
| Kicked a long stone at sunset |
| Watched the ways you smile and nod |
| You smile and nod |
| It’s a righteous life we’re leading friends |
| Heavy dues, pay the fee |
| But no one else notices |
| Destiny except the free, except the free |
| You can tell it in a smile sometimes |
| Arrogance, haughty, and cruel |
| Smiling at some stranger |
| Like a tarot deck card fool |
| It’s a righteous life we’re leading friends |
| Heavy dues, pay the fee |
| But no one else notices |
| Destiny except the free, except the free |
| Stories that they’re weaving now |
| Are part fiction, sometimes ruse |
| You can tell where the real part ends |
| And it’s time to ask for truth, to ask for truth |
| To ask for truth |
| It’s a righteous life we’re leading friends |
| Heavy dues, pay the fees |
| But no one else notices |
| Destiny except the free, except the free |
