lyrics

There is somethin' bout' a Sunday
I am hard pressed to explain
An altar bathed in stained glass candlelight
And the oldest in the building
Knows the building is twice their age
And yet hasn't missed a service in their lives

They had revival in the 60's
But it never was quite too clear
As to just what made the devil that afraid
Cause it hurts me to admit it
But there ain't much left to fear
From the couple dozen faithful who remain

So who am I to fight it?
All this apathetic hate
For the church who made my father sell our home?
I got ash inside my bible
Back in august of 08'
When I watched the mercy seat go up in smoke

Are we fit to pay our tithe
With 30 coins of silver?
The devil, you, and I
The God I can't remember
I am hanging from the rafters by a rope you people tied
Yeah, I'm the masochist you made me
But I still can't say goodbye.
