Lyrics
Welcome to why the church has died In the heart of the exiled, in the kingdom of hate Who owns the land and keeps the commands And marries itself to the state? Modern scribes write in Jesus Christ Everyone is free And the doors open wide to all straight men and women But they are not open to me Who is teaching kids to be soldiers Marked by a plain white cross? And we kill just a little to save a lot more The philosophy of loss There are a few who would be true Out of love and love is hard And don't think that our hands haven't shoveled the dirt Over their Central American graveyards Doctors and witch hunters stripped you bare Left you nothing for your earthly sins Yeah, but who made that noise, just a bunch of boys And the one with the most toys wins Who is teaching kids to be gamblers Life is a coin toss And of course what you give up is what you gain The philosophy of loss Whatever has happened to anyone else Could happen to you and to me And the end of my youth was the possible truth That it all happens randomly And who is teaching our kids to be leaders? And the way that it is is meant to be The philosophy of loss Hey, thanks for listening y'all.
