Nail Me
Never been a stranger to
Nights in the country jail
Been there a time or two
Ain't proud of it myself
Might smoke a little weed
I've heard the grass is green
There on the other side
Ain't always what it seems
But I won't hide behind a thousand lies
At least I know who I am
Nail me to the cross outside
Of your ivory tower where you sit so high
On that horse you rode
'Cause I stand here alone
So hit me with the stones you cast
Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass
You don't think I know
I'm a jester before your throne
How's it feel up there?
Holy up and down
To live without a care
Perfect in and out
I won't hide behind a thousand lies
At least I know who I am
Nail me to the cross outside
Of your ivory tower where you sit so high
On that horse you rode
'Cause I stand here alone
So hit me with the stones you cast
Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass
You don't think I know
I'm a jester before your throne
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Faith, through faith)
It is your faith that has saved you
There's nothing that you have done yourselves
It is a beautiful gift of God
Not because of you, so that no man can boast of his goodness
It's because of the deadly crisis
Nights in the country jail
Been there a time or two
Ain't proud of it myself
Might smoke a little weed
I've heard the grass is green
There on the other side
Ain't always what it seems
But I won't hide behind a thousand lies
At least I know who I am
Nail me to the cross outside
Of your ivory tower where you sit so high
On that horse you rode
'Cause I stand here alone
So hit me with the stones you cast
Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass
You don't think I know
I'm a jester before your throne
How's it feel up there?
Holy up and down
To live without a care
Perfect in and out
I won't hide behind a thousand lies
At least I know who I am
Nail me to the cross outside
Of your ivory tower where you sit so high
On that horse you rode
'Cause I stand here alone
So hit me with the stones you cast
Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass
You don't think I know
I'm a jester before your throne
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Faith, through faith)
It is your faith that has saved you
There's nothing that you have done yourselves
It is a beautiful gift of God
Not because of you, so that no man can boast of his goodness
It's because of the deadly crisis
