[ti:I Won't Say the Lord's Prayer] [ar:The Wonder Years] [al:Suburbia I] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.54]It's a series of bars thrift stores and churches lining the streets [00:08.41]While women with gold crosses push kids into half-formed beliefs [00:15.85]And if Lord was righteous I think I'd rather not be [00:23.47]We lean on fences built from out-dated morality [00:30.47]It's a gang mentality [00:33.66] [00:34.61]It's a dangerous thing [00:37.74]They don't ask you to think just to repeat after me [00:44.79]And assume you're too careless to look at it critically [00:51.41]You'll stop progress if it contradicts what you're told to believe [01:00.38] [01:01.38]I refuse to spend life on my knees [01:08.25] [01:09.16]These billboards that flaunt these scare tactics [01:15.56]Make me think you're only good if you're afraid of being punished [01:22.57]Every single Sunday church bells wake me up [01:30.65]But it's never enough to pull me out of bed [01:37.50] [01:50.44]The church on Main Street has got its doors painted red [01:55.50]And I guess it's so the Angel of Death passes over it [02:01.89]On its way to get gas [02:04.77]The church over on Broad Street has got a neon sign that says Jesus Save Me [02:10.58]And I guess it's so God can see from where he is in the cheap seats [02:19.22] [02:21.72]I refuse to spend life on my knees [02:30.22]And I won't let somebody else make my decisions for me [02:42.80] [02:43.99]If we're all just Christians or Lions [02:48.92]Then I think I'd rather be on the side with sharper teeth [02:55.80]I don't need saving
