Pharisees

Somewhere along the line you must have missed the point
This is not about you
You twist the words of The Gospel to glorify yourself
But this is not about you
Take the spotlight off the things that you've done
And realize he did what you never could
He carries the weight that you could never hold
And even if you had the chance you never would

Hypocrite
You think you're superior?
Hypocrite
Do you really think belittling is the cure?

You walk around with your head held high (Your head held high)
As if you're not the one that's living a lie (You're living a lie)
What makes you think that you'll change their minds?
They'll never see the light
If all you preach is hate from a mountaintop that you couldn't climb

Say what you want, but behind closed doors
You fight the same demons as everyone else
Say what you will, but you look like a fool
To the rest of the world that knows that no one's perfect

You live a lie
Modern day pharisees
Open up your eyes
You never practice what you preach
You live a lie
Modern day pharisees
Open up your eyes
You never practice what you preach

Who gave you the right?

You walk around with your head held high (Your head held high)
As if you're not the one that's living a lie (You're living a lie)
What makes you think that you'll change their minds?
They'll never see the light
If all you preach is hate from a mountaintop that you couldn't climb

The next time you feel the right to preach
About commandments that you know you do not keep
Realize that it was Grace that saved you
And do us all a favour, keep your self-righteous mouth shut

Keep your mouth shut
Keep your self-righteous mouth shut

Grace, grace, grace, grace
We are all at the mercy of
Grace, grace, grace, grace
You are no different than the rest of us

You walk around with your head held high (With your head held high)
As if you're not the one that's living a lie (You're living a lie)
What makes you think that you'll change their minds?
They'll never see the light
If all you preach is hate from a mountaintop that you couldn't climb

From a mountaintop that you could never climb
From a mountaintop that you could never climb
