lyrics

Oh, Lord tie my tongue behind me
Bind my hands there, too
What have I done to honor you?
What have I - what have I done
To honor you?

But be a bad boy?
Live up to the lip?
Let that filthy scrawl determine how my inhibitions slip?
I let them win
I let them win

Oh, Lord what has become of me?
What have I turned to?
Why didn't I just turn to you?
Why didn't - why didn't I
Just turn to you?

And the newsprint
Refuses to lie
There's a reason I'm here singing, but I can't remember why
I let them win
I let them win
I let them win….

Oh, my wrong and right
I don't know
I've fallen hard
It starts to show….
I can't recall
The number of thy lock
It only serves to show
The look seen from afar
Seen from afar

Up to the door I hummed
With the purest of intentions
And perhaps to prove to myself I'm not all-bad
I'm not all-bad
But won't the smallest flaw tear down civilization?
But was it really all that civilized before?

Oh, Lord… 
I let them win.
