Preaching Again from Thoughts & Prayers by art.dmg

Alone, together, we stand – this diaspora, this legacy of man.
Here comes everyone, one and all.
We built up Babylon and then saw it fall.
We built up Babylon and then made it fall.

Don’t talk about politics on the left or the right.
We speak of corruption.
We speak of the fight.

And we expect that we’re given our due.
I want what I’ve earned.
I’m sure you do too.
Said I get what I’m owed.
How about you?

But hey, you’re preaching again, how you’ll smite the sinner but you don’t mind the sin.
Hey, you’re preaching again, how you’ll smite the sinner but you don’t mind the sin.

I don’t know about struggle because I don’t have to care.
Or social injustice – assimilation is the price of our welfare.
What if the truth was we all were uncouth?
Sins of omission or sins of youth.
Short of compassion but long in the tooth.

And hey, you’re preaching again, how you’ll smite the sinner but you don’t mind the sin.
Hey, you’re preaching again, how you’ll smite the sinner but we’re all just sinners, ignorant sinners, desperate sinners, or we once had been.
