lyrics

I believe, but I’m helpless, against your stupid heart,
I believe, but I’m thoughtless, to the waiting stars,
I believe, when I see them, but I’ll never see them all,
Oh lord, I am a believer,
I just don’t know if it’s in you, or me, or either of us anymore…

I think that God is a woman, I think that God is a man,
I think that God was here before us, in the seas and in the land,
I think that God will be forever, and then gone in just a flash,
I don’t know about religion,
I think that God is probably better without that…


And I have more faith in you and me,
But if I change my mind, forgive me everything,
You showed me kindness, and I showed and I showed you my teeth,
Oh, I have more faith in you than in me,

It’s just I don’t feel the same,
For long about anything,
So please don’t mind me if I go my way,

I’m counting to forget,
But sleep just wont come yet,
And my mind is chirping like a bird at dawn,
Like a bird at dawn.


So your rulers have been caught,
And paraded down into the screaming mob?
Maybe they’re human, after all?
Torn down, with the posters of their faces, that are pasted on the buildings, and the walls.


Oh, why can’t we do that here a little more?
Burn the EU flag, and make a bombfire of their laws?
I’d like my country back now, don’t we all?
Feel like an aborigine,
Just before all the white men turned up on the shore?


It’s hard to predict what you don’t know,
In the ever-moving forward-backward future that we’re sold,
Can you change it, or is the answer always ‘no’?
Do my actions count for anything?
Or is it all already written out?
From the moment that we come until we go?


And I have more faith in you than me,
But if I change my mind, forgive me everything,
Some things were just meant to be,
Oh, I have more faith in you than in me,
I have more faith in you than in me.
