There is a woman burning at the center square:
Em6/A Em/A Em6/A
Raven black eyes and long let out hair,
Em/A A Asus2
Screaming, while cloaked vultures
A Asus2 Em6/A
Holier-than-thou circle and glare
Em/A Em6/A Em/A
At sweat drops on pale skin like satin.
A Asus2 Aadd11+ Aadd9
And as the raging flames work her into cinder
Em6/A Em/A
Said in their defence:
Em6/A Em/A A Asus2
Stupidity and ignorance, prejudice and intolerance,
A Asus2 Em6/A Em/A Em7 Em6
All sound so much wiser when dressed up in Latin.
Chorus:
A Asus4 A Asus2
Life will never be the same,
A Asus4 A Asus2 Em6/A Em7 Em6
I have a bigger world since I found God,
Em6/A Em7 Em6
I found God.
A Asus4 A Asus2
Truth will never be the same,
A Asus4 A Asus2 Em6/A Em7 Em6
I’m in a righter mind since I found God,
Em6/A Em7 Em6
I found God.
A Asus2 A Asus2
I found Mrs. Modern Mother Mary,
Em6/A Em/A
All pale and weary
Em6/A Em/A A Asus2
From raising her overweight kids in the outskirts of Suburbia.
A Asus2 Em6/A
On a nice Christian gender based salary
Em/A Em6/A Em/A
And a church she can merely attend.
A Asus2 A Asus2
And there on the flip-side of Caucasia we see
Emajsus4/A E6sus4 Emajsus4/A E6sus4
Miss Modern Mary Magdalene gone Deep Throat
A Asus2
On international cable TV.
A Asus2
So you keep talking about progress and equality,
Em6/A Em/A Em6/A Em7
But to me, the crusade is still on, my friend.
Silly me who always thought,
Life was for the living
And giving in to lust
Was all to give and to be given.
Chorus:
A Asus4 A Asus2
Life will never be the same,
A Asus4 A Asus2 Em6/A Em7 Em6
I have a better view since I found God,
Em6/A Em7 Em6
I found God.
A Asus4 A Asus2
Guilt will never be the same,
A Asus4 A Asus2 Em6/A Em7 Em6
I’m on a higher ground since I found God,
Em6/A Em7 Em6
I found God,
A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus4 A
I found God,
Asus2 Em6/A Em7 Em6 Em6/A Em7 Em6
I found God.
A Asus4 A Asus2
Life will never be the same,
A Asus4 A Asus2
I have a better view now.
Em6/A Em7 Em6
There’s always someone else to blame,
Em6/A Em7 Em6
I’m on the winning team now.
A Asus4 A Asus2
Death will never be the same,
A Asus4 A Asus2
I’m in the faster lane now.
Em6/A Em7 Em6
No more am I the one to blame,
Em6/A Em7/G Em6
I have a juster cause now.
A Asus4 A Asus2
Love will never be the same,
A Asus4 A Asus2
Lust will never be the same,
Em6/A Em7 Em6
Shame will never be the same,
Em6/A Em7/G Em6
I will never be the same.
And you will never be the same!
