歌詞
[Verse 1]
Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
Now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek
[Verse 2]
Sounded like the truth
Seemed no better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
[Verse 3]
I wonder what it was
I wonder what it meant
At first he touched on love
Then he touched on death
[Verse 4]
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
[Verse 5]
I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace
[Verse 6]
Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
But now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek
[Verse 7]
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
[Verse 8]
I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift his glass of blood
Try to say the grace
