| In a world of us and them
|
| It happens now and then
|
| That faith becomes a battle
|
| Between two cultured men
|
| Father John was said to feel
|
| That only God was real
|
| Whereas Michael was a rebel
|
| An atheist with zeal
|
| Both traveled overseas
|
| To lecture their beliefs
|
| And disparage the foundation of the others ideals
|
| A day was fixed upon
|
| To weigh the goings-on
|
| The saintly father John was saying
|
| I’ve always been right (Wrong)
|
| The Word makes me strong
|
| Always been right (Wrong)
|
| And everyone else wrong (Right)
|
| We’ve always been right (Wrong)
|
| To fight how we’ve fought
|
| Always been right (Wrong)
|
| And everyone else
|
| Has always been, always been wrong (Right)
|
| And so the day turned into night
|
| The crowd had become wild
|
| No one knew the matter
|
| But they were eager to fight
|
| Next morning when it cleared
|
| Old John had disappeared
|
| His brother found his bible
|
| But it was torn and smeared
|
| And Michael was revived
|
| He spent the night inside
|
| The temple he had loathed and ridiculed all his life
|
| And at the crack of dawn
|
| He knelt down by the throne
|
| Begging for the gods to listen
|
| They’ve always been right (Wrong)
|
| To do what they’ve done
|
| Always been right (Wrong)
|
| And everyone else wrong (Right)
|
| They’ve always been right (Wrong)
|
| To teach how they’ve taught
|
| Always been right (Wrong)
|
| And everyone else
|
| Has always been wrong (Right)
|
| They’ve always been right |
