Climb On The Cross Songtext
Well tell the televangelist she's out of a job
'Cause I look good on a cross and I can sure sing along
Overrated, under-educated, simple and dry
Who knew a man's fate was such a hard thing to find

But now I'm spending all my money on a badge and a gun
'Cause shooting strangers in the back seems like a lot more fun
I'll just walk around pretending I'm the only one

Never listened to my teacher
Trusted every word my preacher would say
Always thought the crosshair was simply the sun on my face

But if nothing dies tomorrow why remember yesterday
When an hour or more of sleep might do you good
It's the wish I can't remember yeah it's the thing you'll never say
Oh, and I'd do it all again oh if I could

So fight your family and friends and let them know you're the best
Yeah tattoo "radical" right across your chest
No need for love, you were born to impress

Well, everybody always told me if I made a funny face it would stay
So you better get hip, come and take a liking to me looking this way

Yeah, cause it's been years without a memory
Just ears, a nose, a face
Yeah, just to find out fucking up was in your blood

It's the wish I can't remember
It's the thing you'll never say
And you'd do it all again, oh, if you could
Yeah, you'd do it all again, oh, if you could
