Derek Webb - Ballad In Plain Red Lyrics
im robbing peter, im paying paulim changing my name back to sauli got to them and you know ill get to youim turning shepherds into sheepand leaders into celebritiesits holy sabotage, just look around youchoruscause everythings for sale in the 21st centuryand the check is in the mail from the 21st centurydont want the song i want a jinglei love you Lord but dont hear a singleand the truth is nearly impossible to rhymebut i know the songs with all the hooksand i know some lies that will sell some booksso grab em fast, im running outta timejust keep selling truth in candy barson billboards and backs of carstruth without context, my favorite of all my crimeschorusbridgewhat works verses what's righthey what's the difference tonight?take out the sign, forget the mealweve got a gym and a farris wheeli swear it's just like the country club down the blockcause you can make your life look goodyou can do what Jesus wouldbut youd be surprised what you can do with a hard heartchorustagi think youve got trouble in the 21st centuryso welcome to the struggle, its the 21st centuryi never thought id make it to the 21st centuryLord, i love the 21st centuryi write these words from the gravecause its the only place that im safeand only the dead are permitted to speak the truth
