The well has run dry
So put the rope and the knifes away
I know you’re willing like a lamb to the killing
Good things come to those who run, run em down
It’s a stampede it’s Black Friday
If you can’t stand it leave empty handed
We kept the children safe by strapping them in
But we’re now no longer who we once were when
Should we throw them from this sinking ship and tell them to swim
With the last of the God-fearing men
Never questioned
The house on fire you let it burn
Then you waited, vindicated
Who’s to say who can stay, who will fall from grace
How to teach what won’t be learned
Live and let live
My god’s electric
We kept the children safe by strapping them in
But we’re now no longer who we once were when
Should we throw them from this sinking ship and tell them to swim
With the last of the God-fearing men
Like Theodore was saying from beneath the wooden boards
Are you a simple man of action? Is your pedal always floored?
And maybe nothing happens each time we say goodbye
Or perhaps when this is over, we all learn to fly
