lyrics

Music and lyrics by Robby Lester

Driving east
My thoughts, they drifted west
to that life we tried to live
She's onto the next
but not without a hint of envy
I guess I'm living the life
Oh yeah, I'm running fast
Both feet off the ground
If I could shake these addictions
I'd be a blinding highlight
to that life
But tonight I'm quite the mess
Downing pint after pint
the only pub in town
Woodstock, New Brunswick

Gospel hymns and drunkards
I felt so hopelessly pathetic
But Jon said, "Show some solidarity"
But they asked for a song
so I gave em what I knew
Oh yeah, they asked for a bloody song

How can one justify belief in gods
that leave us all behind?

And someone smiled, "Keep digging that grave"
Sure foe, pass a shovel
I'll keep on-a-humming
How heavy is the burden
of living a fallen life
based on fantasies and lies
oppression and hate?

How can one justify belief in gods
that leave us all behind?
How can one justify belief in a system
that beats so many down?
