Grace Of God Songtext

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god go i

ooh my my

in the land of good'n'plenty
the customer is king
hindsight's always 20/20
and it don't achieve a thing

i'm driving but the brakes are out
and the bridge is out atop
but it ain't the fall that kills you
you know it's the sudden stop

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god go i

there but for the grace of god there but for the grace of god
i'm not a crook - i cannot tell a lie

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god go i

my oh my

been smoking like a chimney
i just can't put out this fire
garbage blockin all the exits
hey, are you calling me a liar?
i'm thru tiptoeing on eggshells
chained to the slave majority
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
that must make me hercules

there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace of god go i

my oh my

i been turned out of places all over town
my smile is a frown turned upside down
there but for the grace of god go i

i sharpened this pencil with my teeth
and fuelled it with grief and disbelief
there but for the grace of god go i

stied eyes and heavy sighs
reluctant thighs and sad goodbyes
there but for the grace of god go i

this rifting drift is an aching yearn
with no deposit and no return
there but for the grace of god go i

my oh my
