Yr So Next

It just might be what I'm made of that I'm afraid of
It just might be what I am that has me damned
And if that's the case, I guess that's OK
What else ya gonna do under the sun there's nothing new
Yr not the only one that's shaking
What are you trying to prove under the gun there is no truth
You won't wind up forsaking
But don't feel bad, kid,
It's nothing worse than what St Peter did
Over and over say it ain't so
I'm sorry little man butsometimes that's the way things go
Over and over we can't be thatbad
Oh yeah, we can be that bad
And we have been that bad
And this blood on our hands
Appears tonight by popular demand
That's right, I said popular demand
It just might be all conviction is science fiction
It just might be every question's a good suggestion
And if that's the case then say goodbye to faith
I'm thinking literall of what you cling to so bitterly
And sing of yr submission
To someone else's song that, like this one might have it wrong
Inthe best human tradition
And if that's the case I guess that's OK
Over and over say it ain't so
I'm sorry little man butsometimes that's the way things go
Over and over we can't be thatbad
Oh yeah, we can be that bad
And we have been that bad
And this blood on our hands
Appears tonight by popular demand
That's right, I said popular demand
It just might be what I'mmade of that I'm afraid of . . .
(from the CD "The Panicking of Animals")
