Waving At Strangers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll respect you too
Learn to understand me
'Cause I'll make it too
Me and you, we're equal
And all of us feel blue
Ill be the voice that grows
Inside you for a long time
The rage you're used to hidding
The pain you feel inside is the anger I led through
Liar
I guess you made your whole life of it
Liar
And now you'll burn in hell
Save your prayers and run for cover
You've led your arms around
And spoke the words of truth
Took from us all the money
Said it was a proof
Faith and money are
Used to walking side by side
These religion beasts
Turn the faith in fear
The worship of god
Makes the pocket filled
And all this fanaticism
Has spread the death around
Lies
Don't make it over
Lies
Has no one told ya
