God and Country - The Thermals

pray for a new age

pray for information

i can hope, see

even if i don’t believe

pray for a new state

pray for communication

i can hope, see

even if i don’t believe

and

i believe

i think

i don’t know

history will show

our progress is slow

when we win

we win in inches

the future deaf

so the few left

will need a fist

when no one will listen

know where we stand

know we pay the man

it’s my flag

it’s my flag

know i’m not kneeling

know what i’m feeling

my god above

or total lack of

but

i lack…

i think…

i don’t know

my faith is barren

i don’t believe the prayer

and it’s not a sin

and it’s not opinion

know i’m a man

know where i stand

in an affront

to god and country

pray for a new state

pray for assassination

i can hope, see?

even if i don’t believe

and

i believe

i think
