lyrics

Like some holy roller
Using miracles stolen
While working for Jesus Christ Incorporated

And like that latest caper
It looked so good on paper
But somebody found some photographs of the last second coming

(Chorus)
I can’t conceive of a reason
To convince me of the things that we do
I don’t believe in their meaning
I just believe in the meaning of you

All your fears are filthy
With conspiracy theories
If they all were shown to be true
You alone couldn’t see it

It’s like a message delivered
By a dead end river
It ain’t what it’s supposed to be
From sea to shining sea

(Chorus)
I can’t conceive of a reason
To convince me of the things that we do
I don’t believe in their meaning
I just believe in the meaning of you

The resurrection failed
In that Mexican jail
Drunk on too much blood of the lamb
But that story ain’t written yet

And we got stuck in transit
And this fucker is rancid
These holes won’t dig themselves
And these drugs don’t work anymore

(Chorus)
I can’t conceive of a reason
To convince me of the things that we do
I don’t believe in their meaning
I just believe in the meaning of you
