True Believer

Tourist and bull down Broadway

Cumberland keeps claiming bodies

All our best memories were bought

And then turned into apartments

The club with all the hardcore shows

Now just a grayscale Domino's

The churches overflow each Sunday

Greedy Sunday morning

Gift shop in the lobby

Act like God ain't watching

Kill the soul, turn a profit

What lives on, Southern Gotham

I'm the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones with my belief

And I'm the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 'cause I'm a true believer

They put up chain-link fences

Underneath the biggest bridges

They pose in Christmas cards

With guns as big as all the children

They say that Jesus is the way

But then they gave him a white face

So that they don't have to pray

To someone they deem lesser than them

The South will not rise again

'Til it's paid for every sin

Strange fruit, hard bargain

Till the roots, Southern Gotham

I'm the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones with my belief

I'm the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 'cause I'm a true believer

I'm the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones with my belief

I'm the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 'cause I'm a true believer
