there are days i don't believe the words i say like a life that i'm not living a song that i'm not singing but to you there are times that i believe i'm satisfied like an intimate connection despite this bad reception with you (pre-chorus) because i can't afford to pay for most of what i say so it's a lucky thing that the truth's public domain (chorus) and i am like a mockingbird i've got no new song to sing and i am like an amplifier i just tell you what i've heard oh, i'm like a mockingbird (vs. 2) and yes, it's true that i need this more than you like one whose name is many have mercy, please don't send me away (pre-chorus) and i'll do all i can to be a better man oh i'll clean up this act and be worse than we started (chorus) |

poverty is so hard to see when it's only on your tv and twenty miles across town where we're all living so good that we moved out of Jesus' neighborhood where he's hungry and not feeling so good from going through our trash he says, more than just your cash and coin i want your time, i want your voice i want the things you just can't give me (vs. 2) so what must we do here in the west we want to follow you we speak the language and we keep all the rules even a few we made up come on and follow me but sell your house, sell your suv sell your stocks, sell your security and give it to the poor what is this, hey what's the deal i don't sleep around and i don't steal i want the things you just can't give me (bridge) because what you do to the least of these my brother's, you have done it to me because i want the things you just can't give me |

(verse. 1) i have come to give you life and to show you how to live it i have come to make things right to heal their ears and show you how to forgive them (pre-chorus) because i would rather die i would rather die i would rather die than to take your life (chorus) how can i kill the ones i’m supposed to love my enemies are men like me i will protest the sword if it’s not wielded well my enemies are men like me (verse. 2) peace by way of war is like purity by way of fornication it’s like telling someone murder is wrong and then showing them by way of execution (pre-chorus) (chorus) (bridge) when justice is bought and sold just like weapons of war the ones who always pay are the poorest of the poor (chorus) |

In God we trust and the government is on His shoulders in God we trust through democracy and tyranny alike in God we trust He uses both good and evil men in God we trust so we fight for peace and He fights for us in God we trust even when He fights us for someone else in God we trust even when He looks like the enemy in God we trust even though our hearts are bankrupt in God we trust for more than just the value of our dollar bills in God we trust but there’s no gold behind these notes of reserve in God we trust even through our great presumption in God we trust even though He favors no nation-state in God we trust even when the blessing is a curse |

politics or love can make you blind or make you see make you a slave or make you free but only one does it all and it's giving up your life for the ones you hate the most it's giving them your gown when they've taken your clothes it's learning to admit when you've had a hand in setting them up in knocking them down (chorus) love is not against the law love is not against the law (vs. 2) are we defending life when we just pick and choose lives acceptable to lose and which ones to defend 'cause you cannot choose your friends but you choose your enemies and what if they were one one and the same could you find a way to love them both the same to give them your name (chorus) |
