Lyrics

    hey man
    please don't make a sound
    take a look around
    can't you see what's right in front of you?
    have a little taste
    no more time to waste
    you don't wanna get left behind, because it's all coming down right now
    now - how
    hard is it to see?
    put your faith in me
    i sure wouldn't want to be
    praying to the wrong piece of wood
    you should
    get where you belong
    everything you know is wrong
    come on, sing along everybody now
    
    (god given)
    and he gives us sight
    and we see the light
    and it burns so bright
    now we know we're right
    when his kingdom come
    and thy will be done
    we have just begun
    we're the chosen ones
    
    i would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from
    his mouth and he wants me to tell you
    
    wait
    step into the light
    how can this be right?
    i'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave
    guess you can not win
    with the color of your skin
    you won't be getting in to the promised land
    besides
    this is just another case
    you people still don't know your place
    step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face
    we are the divine
    separated from the swine
    come on, sing along everybody now
    
    (god given)
    and he gives us sight
    and we see the light
    and it burns so bright
    now we know we're right
    when kingdom come
    and thy will be done
    we have just begun
    we're the chosen ones
    and he gives us sight
    and we see the light
    and it burns so bright
    now we know we're right
    when his kingdom come
    and thy will be done
    and the father and the holy son
    we're the chosen ones
    i would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from
    his mouth and he wants me to tell you
