lyrics

They say things get better if you wait
Well I say, things get better with some action
They say there’s always time to pray
Well I say, I’m not gonna sit around on my ass

Talking to myself and housing all this wishful thinking
Won’t do me any good
So I will go and I will leave this place just like I found it
Full of shit but by the book

You’ve got that bible verse tattooed across your chest
Well I’ve got my cigarettes
You sleep with your head in the clouds on the way to heaven
I sleep just fine in my bed

At times I cannot decide on which direction
But I’m happy in the search
And if my life will damn me to hell with all of my best friends
Then to hell, I guess I’ll go

So I’ll walk away and finally find a place where I can say
That I hate those fucking songs
Just because you think your scriptures came from up above
Doesn’t mean they can’t be wrong

Cause we are men and we are fucked up
And I know Matthew made mistakes
Who are you and who am I to try to tell somebody
How to live their fucking life

All I know is that I’ve seen the other side and I’m choosing
Oh I’m choosing to be free
All I know is that I've seen the other side and I’m choosing
Oh I’m choosing to be me
