Lyrics

Here in the belly of the beast
We been making dirty deals
We been living underneath
The bright lights of Babylon
Oh how it shimmers how it shines
With the sheen of compromise
Been soaking in the lies
And Rome starts to feel home
Are we all toxic
Are we a kingdom or a wasteland
Are we the balm of Gilead
Or a poison to the world
Are we all toxic
Are we the cure or the infection
Are we the hands and feet of Christ
Or are we devils in disguise
I can’t tell
I won’t be bought I won’t comply
I won’t serve a dollar sign
Won’t conform to your desires
Or bow down beneath a flag
No I won’t kneel and kiss the ring
I’m no gear in this machine
I’m no part of this regime
Cesar is not my Lord
I’ve only got one Lord
I can’t tell if we’re helping or we’re hurting
I can’t tell if we’re the problem or solution
I can’t tell if we’re the saviours or if we need saving
I can’t tell if we’re the healers or the broken
I can’t tell if we’re a system of oppression
I can’t tell if we’re the heroes or if we’re the villains
I don’t know what God you’re claimin’
We say the same things though
Apparently and variably it’s clear that something changed
I see us under the steeple, I don’t need people, it’s just people
But you must admit, we must consent that all idea’s ain’t equal
And if we fruit of the spirit then our soil must be toxic
‘Cause every single topic causes us to launch rockets
I’m wonderin’ who sufferin’ and proffitin’ off this
How you fight Babylon when you become just like it
We devour, seek your power, weaponize, utilize, brutalize, mutalize
And who decides who is right, inspect inspects each other’s eyes, yellin’ over hurt and cries
You worried about who’s worthy of your precious time
That’s ridiculous, God gotta be sick of this
Somebody gettin’ rich for this
Listen I think we missed it
I thought the goal was exodus
Body and soul, preciousness
I thought the whole session was on earth, like are we all
