Was it true what I heard about the Son of God?

Did he come to save, did he come at all?

And if I dried his feet with my dirty hairWould he make me clean again?

They say they don′t know when but a day is gonna come

When there won't be a moon and there won′t be a sun

It will just go black, it will just go back

To the way it was before

I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride

And every man wanted her, yeah and so did I

Yeah, and so did I, but she up and died

In a fit of vanity

Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns

And they'll kill a man for what his father has done

But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit

I′m not him

But it′s hard to ignore of news reports

They say we must defend ourselves, fight on foreign soil

Against the infidels with some oil wells

God saves gas prices

And you think I need some discipline, well, I've had my share

Now I′ve been sent to my room, I've been sat in a chair

And I held my tongue, I didn′t plug my ears

No, I got a good talking to

Now I don't know why, but I still try to smile

When they talk at me like I′m just a child

Well, I'm not a child

No, I am much younger than that

But now I've read some books, and I′ve grown quite brave

If I could just speak up, I think I would say

That there is no truth, there is only you

And what you make the truth

So I′ll just sing my songs, and I'll pass a hat

And then I′ll leave your town, and I'll never look back

No, I don′t look back because the road is clear

And laid out ahead of me

Now I'll get home, I′ll meet my friends at our favorite bar

We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts

And we'll share a drink, yeah, we′ll share our fears

And they′ll know how I love them

They will know how I love

They will know how I love them

I'm nothing without their love

Now I don′t know when, but a day is gonna come

When there won't be a moon and there won′t be a sun

It will all go black, it will all go back

To the way it's supposed to be

Is it true what they say about the Son of God?

Did he die for us, did he die at all?

And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold to you

Which one of us would be the foolish one?

Which one of us would be the fool?

Which one of us would be the foolish one?

Which one of us would be the fool?
