Don't Know When But a Day is Gonna Come

Was it true what I heard about the Son of God? Did he come to save, did he come at all? And if I dried his feet with my dirty hair Would he make me clean again? They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun It will just go black, it will just go back To the way it was before I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride And every man wanted her, yeah and so did I Yeah, and so did I, but she up and died In a fit of vanity Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns And they'll kill a man for what his father has done But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit I'm not him But it's hard to ignore of news reports They say we must defend ourselves, fight on foreign soil Against the infidels with some oil wells God saves gas prices And you think I need some discipline, well, I've had my share Now I've been sent to my room, I've been sat in a chair And I held my tongue, I didn't plug my ears No, I got a good talking to Now I don't know why, but I still try to smile When they talk at me like I'm just a child Well, I'm not a child No, I am much younger than that But now I've read some books, and I've grown quite brave If I could just speak up, I think I would say That there is no truth, there is only you And what you make the truth So I'll just sing my songs, and I'll pass a hat And then I'll leave your town, and I'll never look back No, I don't look back because the road is clear And laid out ahead of me Now I'll get home, I'll meet my friends at our favorite bar We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts And we'll share a drink, yeah, we'll share our fears And they'll know how I love them They will know how I love They will know how I love them I'm nothing without their love Now I don't know when, but a day is gonna come When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun It will all go black, it will all go back To the way it's supposed to be Is it true what they say about the Son of God? Did he die for us, did he die at all? And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold to you Which one of us would be the foolish one? Which one of us would be the fool? Which one of us would be the foolish one? Which one of us would be the fool? Could you, please, start explaining? You know I need some understanding Could you, please, start explaining? You know I need some understanding Could you, please, start explaining? You know I need some understanding I could do with some explaining You know I wanna understand
