lyrics

If I am sinless, then how can I repent?
If I am perfect, then what can I learn?
The truth is that I know I'm holier-than-thou
I'm just better than the rest of y'all
Why can't you understand?
It's not that hard, people
God speaks to me in visions and dreams
And I know I'm either saved or I'm destined to fall

I haven't ruled out madness quite yet
I haven't ruled out madness or pride
The future's dreary for my body is weak
And my spirit has a different plan
Why can't you understand?
It's not that hard, people
Satan speaks to me in visions and dreams
And I know I'm either saved or I'm destined to fall

I am a servant of the Lord
I am an Ephraimite
I am a cog in the machine
And I'm a sodomite
I will be numbered with the first
A resurrected saint
And in a thousand years of love
That's when I'll learn to hate
I can't sit around awaiting the day in which I'll betray my Lord
I'll be better if I suffer
Just toss me my crown of thorns
