lyrics

The messiah so self-righteous,
you're so proud of yourself
for the knowledge you acquired
from the books on your shelf
you skimmed and scanned,
half-understand
or kind of, sort of know.
But god forbid anyone points out a flaw
for you, they know nothing
and you know it all.
So please step aside, don't run and hide,
While your savior leaves you in awe.

You speak truth and they spread lies.
Point to the dirt and say it's sky, so bright
so, so, so,
So convinced that you're
the one and only light.
Right.

Oh, god, look at you
and how jealous you are.
You haven't done a thing,
but you've come so far.
You're dragging on the coat tails
of your best friend's car.
Please tell me how much
of a success you are.

You speak truth and they spread lies.
Point to the dirt and say it's sky, so bright
so, so, so,
So convinced that you're
the one and only light.
Right.
