lyrics

Sit tight, lay low, forget what you saw him do
A libertarian with a new t-shirt suntan
Who kicks on cue

It takes more than tv to civilise me

So, a leap of faith is all in the mind, the pride before the fall
So, a leap of faith is all in the mind that never thinks at all

Doors shut, lock down, heresy looks good on you
A man in holy cloth can tie the tightest knot
But still it moves

We read the books our fathers handed down
Take them all as gospel, solid ground
Sacrifice our reason to the flames
And burn
