Don’t Know When But a Day Is Gonna Come Bright Eyes

Is it true what I heard about the Son of God?
Did he come to save, did he come at all?
And if I dried his feet with my dirty hair
Would he make me clean again?

They say they don't know when, but a day is gonna come
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
It will just go black, it will just go back
To the way it was before

I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride
And every man wanted her, yeah and so did I
Yeah, and so did I, but she up and died
In a fit of vanity

Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns
And they'll kill a man for what his father's done
But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit
I'm not him

But it's hard to ignore all the news reports
They say we must defend ourselves, fight on foreign soil
Against the infidels, with the oil wells
God saves gas prices

And you think I need some discipline, well, I had my share
Now, I've been sent to my room, I've been sat in a chair
And I held my tongue, I didn't plug my ears
No, I got a good talking to
