Straight up lyric and stripped down sound.
Lip Service of Portland Oregon
|
A look at the hypocrisy evident in many religious and political leaders, and their "do what I say, not what I do" attitude.
|
A hard and narrow road for you and I they speak
While in luxury they live stolen from the weak
Faithful feed their power growing rich off belief
In return giving guilt and fear but giving no relief
They pay lip service to realm of love
With a tearing in my breast I communicate my best
It all comes pouring through when I speak of you
So come and pour through me that gift of love you give so free
Shine bright I need to see the path of love you walk with me
I anger at their smile speaking lies all the while
They know I know they lie and this is why they smile
The power that they wield is their mighty shield
Money changes hands they're free to walk our lands
They pay lip service to way of truth
They know not what they do when they speak of you
When you're crying in my voice I have no other choice
It all comes pouring through when I speak of you
So come and pour through me that gift of truth you give to me
Shine bright I need to see the way of truth you mean for me
