Like This, Like That
Two nice young gentlemen
Come and approach your door
Rehearsing lines to testify you've heard it all before
Nice looking suits and plastic smiles
With an official looking name tag
A lie dressed to the nines is your red flag
They'll say "Follow a list of rules
And man made rituals"
You won't buy their sales pitch
Saying "God's like this
God's like that
This is how he needs you to act"
"God's like this
God's like that
We got the truth and that's a matter of fact"
"God's like this
God's like that
You gotta work work work 'til you're dead"
They'll say "God's like this
God's like that
If you're not good enough then he'll have your head"
They'll say "the truth was lost along the way
The church fell into apostasy
Read this extra book we made
Or twist the one that God already gave"
But you'll kindly decline
You'll shut the door and cry
Sinking to your knees your anger pointing at the sky
Cause they don't know you were them
You're haunted by your past
So many years you can't get back
Saying "God's like this
God's like that
This is how he needs you to act"
"God's like this
God's like that
We got the truth and that's a matter of fact"
"God's like this
God's like that
You gotta work work work 'til you're dead"
They'll say "God's like this
God's like that
If you're not good enough then he'll have your head"
You're not good enough
You're not good enough
You're not good enough
Is all you've heard
So to compensate
You have held the weight
Of all the world
On your shoulders
But that ain't the way
No amount of good you do will cover your mistakes
All is forgiven if you just believe
And grace is a gift
That they soiled with their self-righteousness
Just turn away from self sufficiency
Trust alone in the one who can set you free
So if you've always felt something off
Well you've been catching on
You're right to think that something's wrong
When they say
"God's like this
God's like that
This is how he needs you to act"
"God's like this
God's like that
We got the truth and that's a matter of fact"
"God's like this
God's like that
You gotta work work work 'til you're dead"
They'll say "God's like this
God's like that
If you're not good enough then he'll have your head"
