Let's act like it's alright
Halfway to paradise
Half of the world is gone
But we survived Babylon
Let's all believe the hype
He seems like the saving type
If half the books are right
Yeah just keep the baggage light
Halfway to right the wrongs
Spurred by the words from the side we're on
If you got gripes, don't ride along
Why create what still needs saving
Pull the chair out when we fell
It doesn't seem like something anyone would do
I guess you must know everybody well
All of the rapists
The nameless graves
Lest forget those barely born to die
If heaven is a place on earth, I'd rather search the sky
Let's act like it's our place
Chosen before mistakes
Jerusalem feels like home
Yeah they'll find another dome
Let's act like war is just
Cause we've got a lord to trust
With blood to lust
And laws and such and such, yeah
Halfway to shut the door
Damn half the souls we were praying for
Talk paradox, but the saying's sore
Why create what still needs saving
Pull the chair out when we fell
It doesn't seem like something anyone would do
I guess you must know everybody well
All of the rapists
The nameless graves
Lest forget those barely born to die
But one anecdote of grace recants
Millennia of genocide
So praise the healer
Who made the victim
But chose to save this one this time
If you made both hell and heaven and us too
Oh, will there be a choice that's ever mine
We can do better
Can't we darling
Yeah, the bar's not fucking high
If heaven is a place on earth, I'd rather search the sky
