Sons Masters Of The Flattery
When the water rose above my knees
I took my flesh and I threw it to the sea
My darling I'm drowning in disbelief
[Verse 1]
Fire and brimstone is what they preached to me
But I saw the fire they couldn't reach
And with their hands outstretched every one of them
Was making amends with God
But the fire wasn't hot enough and now You're burning alive
[Chorus]
Get your kicks while you can
We are the masters of the flattery for every man
Handing habits to the free and taking all that we can
Wait, I have made a mistake
Take me back for heaven's sake
I have found myself alone
Grace, you have made me a saint
How could you not know my name?
I was lied to all along
[Verse 2]
I can't believe in this
Not even if I try as hard as I can
I'll be the judge of who's wrong and who's right and who's rightfully damned
Don't play me like a member of your congregation
You're just as crooked as this "Christian" nation
[Chorus]
Get your kicks while you can
We are the masters of the flattery for every man
Handing habits to the free and taking all that we can
Wait I have made a mistake
Take me back for heaven's sake
I have found myself alone
Grace, you have made me a saint
How could you not know my name?
I was lied to all along
