Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Southern pride, got my Southern green
Everybody selling that Southern thing
But we cant go, no
[Verse 2]
Petals in their prime with the hollow teeth
Screamin', "Hallelujah" from the factories
But we can't know
[Verse 3]
Cardboard, bills, and the megaphone
Tellin' all those saints that they were wrong
But they can't know
[Verse 4]
Chokin' on the smoke inside the lungs
Screaming for the mercy of the burning ones
But I know it's too late
[Verse 5]
Preacher of elastic
How we came to let it go, and go, and go?
Love is full of mercury
And now we cannot lose control, control, control
[Verse 6]
What do we ever do? I know that you got it bad
What do we ever say? I know that you got it bad
Gun shaped bible in a loaded tone
Jesus ain't the problem, but he started one
He don't understand
[Verse 7]
Black belt preacher at the city mall
Hiding in the bushes cause he likes 'em young
I don't understand it
[Verse 8]
Danced on the breadth of a wounded dove
Ship till night and took all my blood
Suck all my blood come from?
[Verse 9]
Sold 'em back the Southern greens?
Everybody sellin' that Southern things
But I cant look at all them
[Verse 10]
Preacher of elastic
How we came to let it go, and go, and go?
Love is full of mercury
And now we cannot lose control, control, control
[Verse 11]
What do we ever do?
I know that you got it bad
What do we ever say?
I know that you got it bad
[Verse 12]
What do we ever do?
I know that you got it bad
What do we ever say?
I know that you got it bad
[Verse 13]
Visible love, visible hope
It seems to fade away
Visible love, visible hope
It seems to get away
We are just bruised fruit falling from the tree
God is a gambler who can't set us free
[Verse 14]
Where are we going? We're lost
I cannot figure the cost
For the cotton in a photo
