Diggin Me Down

  • You're saving the saved,
    Men and women enslaved,
    Propagating the messiah conception
    The rich getting richer,
    Paint you into the picture,
    Give the poor immaculate deception

    Where are you Father?
    Why don't you save us?
    The fallen are dying alone
    How can you shut off their cries?
    Ignore a new genocide?
    So come on, Jesus,
    We're all here waiting just for you

    How long must we keep on waiting?
    The faithful and blind are keepin' me, keepin' me down
    How long? Cause my faith is breaking,
    The pure and divine are diggin' me, diggin' me down

    Do you live in the light
    Or in the dead of the night?
    Sanctimonious promises broken
    Hypocritical sin,
    Dying slowly within,
    Is the sacred truth forever unspoken?

    Life ever after,
    Bohemian rapture,
    Beware the dark side of the sun.
    You're just a self-made messiah,
    Selling brimstone and fire
    So come on, Jesus,
    Don't keep us waiting just for you

    How long must we keep on waiting?
    The faithful and blind are bringin' me, bringin' me down
    How long? Cause my faith is breaking,
    The pure and divine are diggin' me, diggin' me down

    How will I know you, Mr. Jesus Christ?
    Have you already been here once or twice?
    The son of man are obsolete facade,
    How will I know that you're the son of God?
