Absolute

You walked a mile to tell the stories of your people

But you strayed another from the truth

And now you're breakin' all the promises and trust they had in you

They toiled for hours until they broke their backs and sickles

Waiting for the fickle-minded rain

And now they're countin' on the only hope they think still remains

Did all your fame and fortune drive integrity away?

Were you just building castles in the sky?

Would all your saints go marching for our brothers in the fray

Or watch them die?

Now you can do what you want to do

Your powers are absolute

You're gonna reign forever

And we can say what we want to say

Pray for a better day

You're gonna reign forever

Now you can do what you want to do

Your powers are absolute

You're gonna reign forever

And we can say what we want to say

Pray for a better day

You're gonna reign forever
