lyrics

You put the product back on the shelf
Claiming it's use for someone else
For you are too wise to be considered the consumer
For who are these men on which we spend
What little we make with our hands?
For surely we must be the used and not the user
Now I've seen them with their hands up to the sky,
Praying to some concert lights
Or so it appeared to me from a distance
But once the thrill of it is gone,
Oh will they soon be moving on
To some other meaning for their own existence?

And oh don't you know
That hypocrisy too is a sin
And I, I have seen your light
But even I was afraid to approach it

Now every time they come around here
Waving money to hide their fears
While quoting some new trend from The Bible
I show they must have missed a verse
Regarding their exit in a hearse
When their money will curse them,
But surely it must be libel
Now am I burning bridges I might have crossed?
With Pagan rubbish, oh just get lost
They're all the minor points
For they're not the ones that we're quoting
Now you don't have to read between the lines
But at least read all of the lines
Before you make the claim that I know nothing

And oh don't you know
That hypocrisy too is a sin
And I, I have seen your light
But even I was afraid to approach it

Oh how many, how many, how many, how many...
Oh how many years until they gain their sight?
And follow the path that they claim is right?
Oh are they afraid that they just might
Have to cast aside their earthly delights
For past values they can no longer recite
An emptiness where there once was light
Now holds nothing but a vacant sign
Oh tell me will it be right when you die?
