Lyrics
Ain't it funny how some guys who lived
Well before your time
Make you think what you think?
God thinks about why
That kind of thing will draw you in if you are like me
Why live for the here and now when you've got eternity?
They say a life unexamined
Is a life that's not worth living
But I'm pretty sure I've greyed my beard
With all these fucks I've given
I can't help but give a damn
But damn, sometimes I wish I didn't
First time I heard of the great beyond
I was surely smitten
I could be one of the chosen few, be on the front lines
I've got something in my pocket that'll give sight to the blind
I grew up and read some stuff
Outside of the good book
Shaken to my very core, I took another look
I've been wrong and they've been right
One thing still remains
If you're the one who's got the truth
You gotta set people straight
They say a life unexamined
Is a life that's not worth living
But I'm pretty sure I'll grey your beard
With all these fucks I'm giving
I can't help but give a damn
But damn, sometimes I wish I didn't
First time I saw someone's eyes light up
I was surely smitten
I could be one of the chosen few, be on the front lines
I've got this little article that just might change your mind
I can't help but give a damn
But damn, sometimes I wish I didn't
First time I heard of the great beyond
I was surely smitten
I could be one of the chosen few, be on the front lines
I've got this little molecule that just might change your mind
