Lyrics

Preacher said, "Gotta believe something son,
You've got to hold something dear"
I do believe in something sir
There's just no word for it here
I don't believe in no big black book
I ain't afraid of no firey flames
I do believe that I'm a rich man
But I don't own nothin' but my name

I'm so goddamn bored with your philosophy
I'm so goddam bored with these times
It's hard to punish a man for anything
When everything is a crime
I don't believe in no stars no stripes
I prefer not the wear that mask
I'll answer any question in song
If ever you should choose to ask

When I'm up you know I'm up
No earthly thing can hurt me
And when I'm down you know I'm down
No heavenly thing can help me
There was a time when I found god
And then I set him free
It don't mean nothing against you Lord
But my soul belongs to me
