If You Want To Get Free Lyrics - Waterdeep

In the gas station bathroom by the condom machine 

I heard the word of the Lord 

He said "Take off your shoes, 

this is holy ground too 

you know I came for the sick and the bored." 

Beneath the selling of beers 

And the welling up of tears 

Out beyond the beam of the remote control 

There's a whispering voice 

That the humble ear ears 

that says "I am still waiting 

for you to ask just to be made whole." 

And the bush it was burning on the mountain top 

and though the leaves never blackened, the fire didn't stop 

That's the way that it works in this old life of sin 

You gotta let the fire burn you just to get clean within 

I am so often deterred from my actual intent 

by distractions in a cellophane wrap 

And the cruel voice that taunts me when I open them up 

to find just one more box full of crap 

It's where you're mocked while you abstain 

and then cursed when you give in 

It's all a game that's impossible to beat 

But there's a peaceful refrain God'll sing in your brain 

when you put the nails to your hands and your feet 

And the smell of our sacrifices 

still fills up my head 

There's just a few left at the altar, Lord 

all the rest of them fled 

And we've cried and we've tried 

We've sweat and we've bled 

But we don't just need atonement 

We need to be raised from the dead
