Total Depravity

I asked our father and he said

It don't get no easier once you're dead

This whole universe is just mud and bone

And you carry what you can alone

There's total depravity staring back at me

There's total depravity standing right in front of me

Oh, oh, oh

I try to look away and I fail

I try to look away and I fail

I asked my mother what went wrong

She said, it's been bad all along

And you gotta face the butcher straight

You don't want to end up on his plate, son

Oh

I try to look away and I fail

I try to look away and I fail

(The total depravity)

I try to look away and I fail

There's total depravity standing right in front of me

There's total depravity

I try to look away and I fail

There's total depravity

I try to look away and I fail
